OTTO G. OAS
(1893 - 1919)
MESSAGES BRING NEWS OF TWO MORE MANITOWOC BOYS MAKING SUPREME SACRIFICE OVER THERE
Lieut. Otto Oas, Co. H, Succumbs to Wounds Received Months Ago and Oscar Staalson Killed in Action on October 12 Says War Department
Messages received in the city late yesterday added the names of two more Manitowoc boys to the honor roll of the dead who gave their lives in the cause of world democracy in the terrible carnage overseas. Lieut. Otto Oas of this city, having died Jan. ? at Bordeaux, France from wounds received months previous and Oscar Staalson, another local boy, having been killed in action on Oct. 12, according to records of the war department at Washington.
Lieut. Oas, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Oas, North Fourteenth street was a member of Company H when the command left here and had served with the company in the border campaign previous to the call for overseas service. He was at Waco with the local company and later transferred to Camp Merrit where on Feb. 22 last, he was detailed in command of replacement troops and crossed seas in advance of his own command. Later he rejoined Company H when it became part of the 127th Infantry in the Thirty-second Division. Wounded in the second battle of the Marne last summer, Lieut. Oas was seen to fall on the field of battle by his own brother, Serg. Otto Oas, with the same command, but the latter was unable to go to his assistance and did not see Lieut. Oas after he fell. Shot through the lung by a machine gun bullet, Lieut. Oas was cared for at a number of hospitals and on Sept. 6 was removed to Base Hospital 6 at Bordeaux, France where he has been since and where his death occurred Jan. 3. Although he probably realized that his chances for life were slight. Lieut. Oas cheered his relatives and friends here by frequent letters assuring them of his improvement but it has been feared for some time that his wounds were fatal. Transfusion of blood and other operations were performed but to no avail and death relieved the soldier boy of his sufferings early this month.
Lieut. Oas was 25 years of age, having been born Aug. 13. He enlisted with Company H and when the command was called to the border at the time of the Mexican trouble, he was with the company and again when the call to arms for overseas service came he was anxious to go.
Besides his parents Lieut. Oas is survived by four brothers, Sergt. Otto Oas, who is in command of Company K, Forty-fourth regiment on the coast, Rossow, Phillip and Orien of this city and two sisters, Ella and Doris who are at Milwaukee where they are completing their course as trained nurses.
