“Jay Carey is dead”
Last Saturday morning, in the beautiful St. Mary’s cemetery at Storm Lake, the body of this popular young Pocahontas business man was laid away with military honors in its last resting place.
June 6th, a trifle more than six months ago, on a beautiful early summer morning, wedding bells rang out for Jay Carey and Frances Shimon. There was the hurrying and scurrying of decorated automobiles up and down the streets and the happy pair were away to the Delles of Wisconsin on a honeymoon trip. Rev. Joseph Fitzpatrick, young Storm Lake priest and cousin of the groom, had pronounced the nuptial bans. Saturday morning with head bowed with grief, this young priest, intoned the requiem mass over the body of his young relative.
Tuesday morning, one week ago, Carey stopped lightly into the Lindeman restaurant and asked if his doctor, the family physician was there. When told that the doctor had already eaten breakfast and was probably on the street, Carey as quickly stopped out again and started the search.
The doctor could not be found for he had been called out of town. Carey went to the Shimon Drug store. Albert Shimon gave him medicine called for and noting his condition urged him to go home, go to bed and call a doctor. He went home, and during the day grew slowly worse. The family physician arrived and sensing the approaching crises warned relatives and friends of the gravity of the situation. All day (continued on page 7)
“Requiem Mass And Taps Sound For Jay Carey”
Wednesday and Wednesday night, despite every effort and alarm for the sick man grew. “Flu” rapidly developed into the dreaded pneumonia. Thursday at 3 o’clock December 22, the young man who had faced death on five of the most deadly battle fronts through the nine long final months of the World War, quietly passed away.
Jerry D. Carey was born in Storm Lake, Febr. 24, 1894. The family moved to Pocahontas from Storm Lake in May 1924. He is survived by his wife, and mother, Mrs. Ellen Carey, one brother, John Carey of Minneapolis, and three sisters, Grace and Katherine of Pocahontas, Marian of Evanston, Ill.
When the call to war sounded through the land, April 1917, Carey was among the first to respond, his enlistment dating April 7, 1917. He was attached to the 168 regiment in the 42nd Division Headquarters company. He sailed from New York on the U.S. Steamer President Grant, October 18, 1917. He entered the fighting line February 22. He fought in the battles at Louraine, February 26 to June 19, the Champaigne Defensive July 15 to 20; the Marne Offensive July 26 to August 5th; St. Mihiel Offensive Sept. 12th to Sept. 26 and the Argonne Offensive October 13 to November 9th. He was waiting with millions of other Americans, their faces turned toward the enemy when the armistice was signed Nov. 11th. He was an active member of Liberty Post No. 18 of the American Legion of Pocahontas. A color guard and a firing squad from Liberty post accompanied his body from the home to Sacred Heart church where the church funeral services were conducted. The color guard accompanied the funeral cortege to Storm Lake. The firing squad from Storm Lake conducted the military funeral service at the grave, fired the parting salute and sounded taps.
Pall bearers were, Charles Lindeman, E. R. Donohoe, Alfred Miller, Harry Cassill, Danny O’Brien and E. G. Hudek.”
