FORREST D. YOUTSEY
Forrest Dean Youtsey, the only son of Frank and Anna B. Youtsey, was born near Chariton, Ia., January 18, 1893. His early days, in fact, most of his entire life has been spent on the farm with his parents. After finishing the home school, he took training at Chariton, Iowa, and would no doubt have finished there had it not been for the ill health of his father. In the spring of 1913, owing to the condition of his father's health, Forrest, only a lad of twenty, took over the farm and his father's entire business which he has handled with the greatest success since that time.
In the spring of 1917 the United States took her place in this great world war and began to call together her noble sons to defend her rights and principles. Forrest responded to the first call and reported at Camp Dodge, September 19th, 1917, and was assigned to the Supply Company of the 339th Field Artillery. In Army life, as in civilian life, he proved himself efficient and a real man of dependence and character. The enthusiasm with which he took up his work and his ability to adapt himself to his surrounding circumstances secured for him on December 3rd, 1917, a Sergeancy.
He was a good, true, loyal soldier. A man of character and honor; a man admired not only by the officers of his own company, but by the officers of the entire regiment. His kind, jovial spirit won for him the friendship and best wishes of all comrades and associates.
This worthy comrade, kind friend and noble soldier passed on to the Great Beyond, after a very brief illness in the Base Hospital at Camp Dodge, Iowa, March 28, 1918, aged 25 years, 2 months and 10 days. There are left to mourn besides the hosts of friends and comrades, the father and mother, three sisters, Mrs. Maude Baldridge, Mrs. May Aton, and Miss Iva Youtsey, all of Chariton, Iowa.
Our friend and comrade, your son and brother, has left this mortal plane and passed on into immortality but not into obscurity. For he is one who has left his footprints upon the "Sands of Time," and shall live long after the earth has returned to earth, the ashes to ashes and the dust to dust.
Largely attended funeral services were held from the family home near Russell, Sunday at 12 o'clock, and the remains were laid to rest in the Chariton cemetery.
