hopeless, but on last Saturday
evening the message came that

Vernon, Lawrence county, Mo.,
and in 1903 came to Eagls Valley
with his parents and other mem
bers of the family, residing near
Richland until a few years aw
when the family moved to a ranch
near West Lookout. On Sept
5th, with his brother Wm. Page,
entered army service r-oth were
assigned to 27th Co., 166 D. E.,
at Camp Lewis and remained
there until a few weeks ago they

Thoma3 R. Jeffords, who with
four sisters and six brothers,
