HIS WAR DAYS OVER
Death Claimed Private Morgan Burns Today.
Illness contracted while serving in the Philippines caused the death this morning of Morgan Burns, who passed quietly away at his home, 717 Gull Street, at 7 o'clock. He was twenty years of age yesterday.
Morgan Burns was born In Goshen, Ind., and lived formerly in Paw Paw, where he enlisted as a private in Company A of the "Forty-fifth United States Infantry, and had served with much credit for a year and four months when ill health obliged him to come home last February. He had been in a hospital in the islands for six months and hoped for relief in the north, but his trouble gradually grew worse and death came as a relief to long suffering.
