THIRTY-NINE [sic] WOOD

CO. SERVICE MEN

DIED IN SERVICE

______

A list of 39 [sic] of the 50 service men in Wood county who lost their lives in the late war has been compiled by the local post of the American legion [sic]. The adjutant of the post is working hard to secure the remaining names as it has been decided to make this list a part of the permanent record of the post and enroll their departed comrades as honor [sic] members of the post.

The names were originally secured for the memorial service to be held Sunday afternoon when the French Memorial Diplomas will be distributed to the next of kin of the deceased soldiers, which includes the names of soldiers, sailors and marines of Wood county.

The names and the names of nearest relatives that have been collected to date are as follows [sic]
