IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Ralph C. Somers who died in France, January 22, 1919.
You did your duty bravely well
And for your country's cause you fell.
Sweet will your memory ever be
Untill your face again we see,
Where wars will never part us more,
On Canaan's fair and peaceful shore.
MOTHER, FATHER and BROTHER.

Body of Private Somers Will Arrive This Week
Local Veteran Died in France, Skull Fractured, After Being Thrown From Horse.
According to advices received by Mr. and Mrs. Ford M. Somers of 523 Paige street, the body of their son Private Ralph C. Somers. will be sent this week from. Hoboken, where it arrived last Saturday with more than 5.000 others. A military service was held at the time of the burial in France, and another was held yesterday at Hoboken, so it is not probable that military features will be observed at the home funeral this week. Mr. and Mrs. Somers are planning a simple prayer service at the grave, which will be in Esperance or Sloansville.
In 1918, Private Somers enlisted in this city. He landed in France with the 309th Field Artillery. From that time until September he was in action including the Argonne Forest. On January 2, 1919 he was thrown from a horse while at exercise and sustained a fractured skull.
Esperance was Private Somers birthplace, but he lived in this city after his fifth year. He attended the Mumford and Albany street schools The survivors are his wife, parents and two brothers, all of this city. He was married Decoration day, 1918 to Miss Gladys Montayne of Esperance. At the time of his death he was about 23 years old.
