"GUY DUNKIN "GOES WEST."
This community has been stricken by a feeling of deepest sorrow. The news of the death of Guy Dunkin (sic) was received here Monday. Guy was serving with Co. L., 134th Infantry, in France. He was born at Nelson September 18th, 1894, and was killed in action September 2nd, 1918. Thus a blue star in our service flag has been turned to gold by the supreme sacrifice of one of our beloved boys.
Guy went to Camp Funston last October and June 5th he was transferred to Camp Cody, New Mexico, where he remained a short time before going to France. He was the son of Walter Dunkin (sic), now of Peetz, Colorado. He was a grand son of Comrade John G. Dunkin (sic) who lives out north of Nelson.

DUNKEN AT REST
The body of Prvt. Guy H. Dunken who was killed in France September 2nd, 1918, while a member of Co. G 127th Inft. A.E.F. was laid to rest in the Nelson cemetery (sic) Sunday afternoon.

There is no death! the leaves that fade and softly drift to silent doom
Are not to cold oblivion laid
In some forsaken, hopeless tomb -
They are not dead; 'neath snow and rain
They live, and with the spring's first breath
All glorified they'll come again -
There is no Death!
There is no death! the boys who pass
Like falling stars in glory's glow,
Will live again when dewy grass
And popies (sic) on those craters grow;
When all the world is fair and free
Because they gave their soul's own breath
They'll live in millions yet to be -
There is no Death!
