On Sunday funeral services were held at the Armory for two young soldiers who laid down their lives for their country on a battle field in France, Glenn Howard and Fred Switzenberg, whose bodies arrived from overseas last week. There was a very large attendance of friends and sympathizers of the bereaved families. The American Legion turned out to do military honors to their fallen comrades. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Geo. W. Longenecker.
