From The Courier (Asheboro, NC) 31 October, 1918:
"Private Bennett Cornelius of Co. L, Thomasville, has been killed in action by the Germans. Private Cornelius was the sixth man from Co.L to make the supreme sacrifice for his country. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. B.W. Cornelius, of Thomasville. Private Cornelius was reported missing in action by a telegram of August 31. Later a letter from a Corporal of the young man's Company told of his death."
