"Among the bodies, listed as "passengers" on board the Wheaton, was that of Elzie E. Turner, an Army cook from Seat Pleasant, Md.
He was 28 and had been married a month when he shipped out of Hoboken aboard the Leviathan on July 8, 1918. He died of pneumonia on Oct. 17, 1918, and was buried in an American cemetery in Rimaucourt, France.
The year after his death, his wife, Emily, a native of Ireland, posted a memorial notice in the Washington Evening Star.
He sleeps beside his comrades
In a grave across the foam;
But love and memory linger
In the hearts of all at home
An anniversary Mass was scheduled in St. Margaret's Catholic church in Seat Pleasant, the notice said.
Turner was disinterred on March 17, 1921 after his family asked that he be sent home. His body arrived in Hoboken on May 18 and was delivered to the William H. Sardo funeral home on H Street in Washington on June 10.
He was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery three days later."
