Aloysius Leo Bichlmeier was a young farmer who had worker eight years near Horton, on the Schecher farm near Willis, on the Berney farm east of Horton and on the Barrand place, 1.5 miles east of town. He was a member of the 385th Field Hospital, 322nd Sanitary Train, and was stationed at Camp Funston, where he was in training. In October he left with his organization, presumably for overseas duty, but on reaching Camp Cody, New Mexico, the organization was quarantined with influenza. On Oct. 16, 1918, he died of influenza and pneumonia, after an illness of about two weeks.

Owing to the influenza epidemic raging at the time, public funeral services could not be held, and only near relatives and friends were present at the simple service held at the home of his mother and sister, east of Horton. Besides his mother, Mrs. Anna Bichlmeier, and sister, Mrs. Cecelia Weinandt, he leaves five brothers and six sisters.
