ERIE DANA
On December 15, Albert Dana received a telegram from the new Base Hospital at Camp Mills, Long Island, that his son, Erie Dana, was very sick
and he and his daughter, Mrs. Fred Keller, left on the night train to see him, and after taking the long ride got there too late to see him alive, as he died the night they were on the way to see him. He had been sick and in the hospital a few days before, got better and went back to duty, caught cold and had pneumonia. He was the last of three sons all of whom died with pneumonia. A letter came to Mr. Dana saying Erie was an excellent soldier, and was universally liked by his officers and fellow soldiers and his untimely death is a genuine source of sorrow to all. His death occurred in the line of duty and is no less honorable than had it occurred in the field of battle. He is survived by his father and sister, Mrs. Fred Keller.
