"Jack" Lamb is Dead
A.C. Lamb received a telegram Sunday bearing the sad news that his son, John Lamb, had died that morning at Edgewood, Maryland. The body will be brought here for burial. The cause of death was given as bronchial pneumonia. "Jack" as he was familiarly known by his associates, went to Camp Funston last June and has been in the service since. He was born and grew to manhood in this community and has many friends who will join the family in mourning his untimely death.
"Private Frank was an excellent soldier, industrious and ambitious, who was universally liked by his officers and his fellow soldiers and his unfortunate death is a source of genuine sorrow to all of us.

He left his home in perfect health
He looked so loving and brave
We little thought how soon he'd
be laid in a soldier's grave.
