He attended the country school, completing his course there; he afterward entered the commercial course in Leander Clark College, but on account of ill health discontinued his studies.
He heard his country's call and went into training at Camp Dodge September 5, 1918. He gave himself a victim on the sacred altar of freedom. He sacrificed himself for humanity. He was one of the many who fell covered with the conqueror's glory and adorned with the martyr's eternal crown. He was one of the millions dying for the cause of universal peace and brotherhood.
