Sergt. Lisle Flickinger of Homer City, who was a member of the Graves Registration Corps in France related the facts of two odd coincidences. During his service in France, he officiated at the interment of many soldiers, some twenty, of which were from this county. He buried Earl Stewart, who was killed in action at Romaine, and also had charge of the funeral, when the soldier's body was returned to his home, and buried in Greenwood cemetery.
