Mr. Taylor Jewell, Dear Father,
I am now somewhere in France and am in the best of health.
It is an impossibility for me to describe the countiy or my trip over here or what I am doing, but, believe me this is a fine country and if we forfeit our lives for France, It will be in a just cause.
Should anything happen to me you will be notified by the War Department.
Your son,
WINFIELD JEWELL,

HERO OF WORLD WAR
NOW RESTS AT HOME
Funeral of Corp. Winfield Jewell Held at Little Flock
Sunday Afternoon.
An immense crowd gathered at Little Flock church Sunday afternoon to pay their respects to another Sullivan county boy who lost his life overseas during the World war.
The remains of Corporal Winfield G. Jewell, a son of Taylor Jewell of West of Shelburn, now rest in Little
Flock cemetery, near the home of his boyhood days.
The remains arrived here Saturday evening from Haboken, NJ.
and were taken to the Billman undertaking parlors, where they remained until the boby was taken to Little Flock
Sunday afternoon. On account of the large crowd that had
assembled to pay respect to another hero of the late war it was deemed advisable to hold the service outside of the church. A strong and masterful sermon, full of burning
patriotism, was delivered by Rev. George Fuson, of Fairbanks Twp. and the dead soldier was given the honors of a military burial by members of the Fairbanks Post of American Legion. The firing squad and active pall bearers were members of this post and boyhood friends of the dead soldier.
A mixed quartette furnished selections for the service, and the remains were laid to rest neath a bevy of flowers and symbols in the cemetery of Little Flock.
Jewell had served Uncle Sam as a member of the regular army since his enlistment at Terre Haute in 1904.
He was with General Pershing on the Mexican border, and was sent to France with Co. M, 23rd In fantry, and was killed at the battle of Soussons on July 19, 1918.
