"Private Emmons Agar, Rochester, N. Y., died October 7th, 1918, at Morn Hill, Winchester, Hants, England, the second of the company to succumb to pneumonia while overseas. He joined us at Camp Sevier, and was at all times interested in the welfare of the Company or any project that meant recreation for the boys. We have always felt the better for knowing such a man. His acts of kindness to his comrades spread wherever he was detailed and his squad members lost a real friend, and the entire company a good soldier, in his demise. His quiet and unobtrusive manner found its way to the hearts of his fellow soldiers, who held him in highest esteem."
