THE ROLLA HERALD DEMOCRAT - OBITS "1918"
PRIVATE MILFORD R. COLLEY
11 July 1918 (issue date)
Private Milford Raymond Colley, of the U.S. Marine Corps was killed in action between June 2nd and 10th. This sad news was received by Mr. C. H. Colley and wife, parents of the young hero, at Waynesville, Mo., on July 2nd.
Milford Colley was born at Waynesville, May 7, 1902, making him a little over 16 years old at the time of his death. He enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps in April, 1917. He has been in France since last October. He is the first Pulaski county youth to fall in battle.
Young Colley met his death in the great battle when the American Marines held in check the German drive, and at the same time drove the dastardly whelps back. We hope we know that young Colley's death will be fully avenged. Milford Colley is a nephew of W. F. Houk of Newburg.
He died in glory. His death is mourned by America.
