Janesville Settlement (17 Oct 1918)

Private Arnold Halle was buried on Friday afternoon instead of Tuesday, as we stated last week. The body did not arrive here as soon as expected, and owing to Spanish influenza and diphtheria in Greenwood, the military services were cancelled until later. The minister from Greenwood gave a beautiful sermon, which touched all the hearts. The singing was by the West Eaton Glee Club. S. Racoby, a soldier, came with the remains.
