"The body of Walter B. Carlyle arrived here {Bethany} Friday morning on the 8:03 passenger and was at once taken to the home of his brothers and sisters west of town. The funeral service was held from the Methodist church Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock and was the largest ever held in town. The Bethany Concert Band le the procession and was followed by the Knights of Pythias, American Legion, and Woman's Auxiliary. All the seats in the center of the church were reserved for the relatives and the orders, yet there was not seating room for all. About as many people were out of doors as there were in the house. Rev. E.L. Carson delivered a spindled sermon and Rev. Hedrick and Rev. Benjamin C. Kelly assisted in the services. Walter B. Carlyle, youngest son of George and Sarah Carlyle, was born February 28, 1894, near Bethany where he grew to manhood. On June 19, 1918, he entered the service of army for his country and went to Camp Taylor, near Louisville, Kentucky. From there, he went to Camp Beauregard, Louisiana, and from there to Newport News, Virginia, from which place he embarked for France, August 7, 1918, just one month and nine days from the time he left home. He landed on the other side August 18 and was soon sent to the front. On October 20, 1918, he was seriously wounded in the battle of the Argonne Forest and four days after, October 24, 1918, he made that other crossing to a land from which none ever return. A little less than four months from the time he left home, he made supreme sacrifice and answered the call to come up higher. His mother died nine years ago and his father five years ago. He was one of ten children, eight boys and two girls, all of whom are living except, John, who died last year. His brothers are Charlie, Thomas, Julius, Prent, Clyde, and Homer Carlyle, and the two sisters are Rose and Anna Carlyle. He was a member of the Epworth League and took an active part in its services. In a letter to a member of the family from the war council, department of the Pocket Testament League, it was stated that Walter had sent them a card on which was written, "I accept Jesus as my Savior." These words leave behind great comfort for the blessed hope that though he gave his life here for a great cause, he lives now and shall ever live beyond this world of tears. The body was taken to the local cemetery where the Knights of Pythias and American Legion had charge of the burial.
