Private Sherrill
Writes
Mr. B.P. Sherrill yesterday received a letter from his son,
Private Truman Sherrill of B.E. 318, F.A., A.E.F., under date of August 30, in
which he said that he was well and happy liked France fine. He says it is a
fine country and the weather was very cool there.
Has Been at Front
Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Jones of Conover, Route 1, have received a
letter from their son, Mr. Roy Jones, Co. D, United States engineers. The young
man was well and doing fine when he wrote on August 21and had just returned
from the front line trenches. He urged his parents not to worry about him, as
he was as safe as soldiers possibly could be. He has received 10 letters from
his parents so far and is always glad to hear from home.
Mr. Bumgarner Has
Been Ill in France
Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Bumgarner have received several letters
from their son, Private E.L. Bumgarner of Co. A, 323rd infantry in
France. The last letter was dated August 31. He had been very sick, but was
better when he wrote. He said that he occasionally got to talk to French
soldiers from the front and that they seemed to think the war would be over
before Christmas. He also said that he was anxious to get some mail as he had
not received any since he arrived in France.
Joe Elliott Sherrill
Ill in Philadelphia
Mr. J.D. Elliott left last evening for Philadelphia in
response to a message from his daughter, Mrs. C.M. Sherrill, informing him that
the condition of her son, Joe Elliott Sherrill, United States Navy, was
serious. The young man is in the navy hospital at Philadelphia suffering from
Spanish influenza. First news of his illness was received by his mother
Wednesday and she left Wednesday evening to be with him. It is hoped that his
condition will improve steadily and that he will soon be well again.
