William A. Kasiske
Burial of Kasiske At Minden Sunday
The body of the only Minden soldier to lose his life in action in France will be buried with military honors at that place at 2 o'clock Sunday, the Legion post, assisted by visiting Legion men, having charge. The body of William Kasiske arrived this week from overseas. Kasiske was one of the foremost community workers at Minden, friends say and was one of the earliest to enter the war.
A large delegation of veterans from Council Bluffs will attend the funeral. Officers of the Legion post here have asked that all who intend to go notify the headquarters, so Minden may have knowledge of how many to expect from Council Bluffs.

William A. Kasiske was born in Atlantic, IA, February 28, 1892. In November 1892 he came with his parents to Minden, where he grew to manhood, attending the public school. He worked for about three years for the Minden Hardware Co., when he took up the work of electrician and followed that trade until he was called into the army, and reported at Avoca, April 28, 1918. He served in the 358th Infantry, where he received strenuous training. They landed in England about the first of July 1918 and from there was sent to France, where they received further training until they were sent to the fighting front.
He was killed in action by machine gun fire September 12, 1918, while with his company in the St. Mihiel drive. He was buried by the chaplain of his regiment in the American battle area cemetery at the Commune of Fey En Haye, France, until ordered to be shipped back to America, arriving in Minden Thursday evening, April 20, 1922, accompanied by a Corporal from Fort Crook, who turned the remains over to the local post of the American Legion.
Military funeral services over the body of Private William Kasiske were held Sunday afternoon, April 23, from the home of his parents, under the auspices of the American Legion, with Rev. B.R. Bauman, as acting chaplain. From the home the funeral cortege marched to the Minden church, where funeral services were conducted by Rev. Bauman, who paid a splendid tribute to the deceased. On account of lack of room, the only ex-service men who accompanied the body into the church were the pallbearers, honorary guard and honorary pallbearers who were the commanders and adjutants of the visiting post. After the services at the church the funeral cortege marched to the cemetery, where about 1,000 people had assembled, and where Rev. Bauman again delivered a spendid address.
The number of ex-service men in uniform who marched in the cortege were counted to the total of 176. They accompanied the body from the home to the church and from the church to the cemetery. Full military honors were paid by the Legion at the grave. (Buried Minden Cemetery, Section B., Row 17, 1892-1918, Co G 358 Inf.)
