Willie Macon, Perry Wilson, Who Died in World War, Remembered, Oct. 16, 1919

From The Franklin Times, Louisburg, N.C., Oct. 16, 1919. I don't know when the memorial service was to be held, but the article can't have the correct date. I've copied it as it was written.

Memorial Services to Memory of Willie Macon and Perry Wilson at Trinity M.E. Church. . . On Sunday October 12th at 3 p.m., Old Time Soldiers to Wear Uniform

Memorial Services to the late Mr. Willie Glenn Macon and Mr. Perry Wilson, who gave their lives for liberty in the recent World War, when they died on the battle fields of France in the service of their country, in the task of driving the demon autocracy from Europe and saving the possible invasion of our own beloved country by a power mad set of individuals who had countries at their disposal, will be held at Trinity Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon October 12th, at 3 o’clock (old time), Chaplain J.B. Turner of the 1st Battalion of the 30th Division will preach. A special invitation to everybody to attend has been extended and all soldiers are requested to wear the regulation uniform.
