Mrs Ellen Anderson, R.F.D. 4, Box 43, Binger, Okla.
My dear Madam,
Permit me, as officiating chaplain, to extend to you and your family, my deepest sympathy in the loss that you have sustained in the death of your son, Andrew Anderson.
Be assured to the heartfelt gratitude of our Republic for your sacrifice, heavy though it has been.
With the regular funeral services and the band playing, "Nearer My God To Thee", your son was buried at sea, his body draped with the Stars and Stripes, and with military honors. The captain of the ship, the colonel in command, with six fellow soldiers as pallbearers, were all in attendance.
Though not occurring on the firing line, your son died in the line of duty; his life has not been given in vain. The cause is even now triumphing.
I pray the comfort and support of the Divine Father and Creator of us all upon you.
In deepest sympathy,
Edward O. Clark, Chaplain, 74th Art. C.A.C.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the members of the colored branch of the Red Cross of Binger, to the officiating minister, as well as their expressions of sympathy; also for the touching memorial service held by them in Binger in memory of our dear son, Private Andrew Anderson, who died at sea October 6, 1918. We thank the Red Cross for their beautiful floral offerings.
