August Kamper received word the last of the week of his son, William, who succumbed to flu somewhere in France, Nov. 19.
The boy left here June 28, and had been in France for some time.
The deceased was twenty-four years old Sept 10 of this year. He had spent most of his life on a farm near Archer, but for the past four years had resided about two miles north of Palmer.
He was a young man who was held in high esteem by all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed by his many friends.
Our sincere sympathy goes out to the bereaved relatives.

Memorial services for William Beyer and William Kamper were held by the Lutheran congregation at the opera house Wednesday afternoon.
The service began with the old song "Jesus Lover of My Soul" by the congregation, followed by scripture reading. The children choir then sang a beautiful selection.
The address was then given by Rev. Jung. The text used was "He telleth the number of the stars, he calleth them by name." The address was eloquent and patriotic and was presented in a very clear and forcible manner. Rev. June had the advantage of any other speaker in his eulogy of these boys as they had been members of his congregation and he had known them well.
He called attention to the glorious deeds of all our soldier boys and rejoiced that peace had at last come to bless the world and that our boys would soon be at home and engaged in their regular avocations. He especially impressed upon the congregation the duty we owe the boys when they return home. The services closed by the congregation singing "Asleep in Jesus."
The entire service was very appropriate and was well attended.
