BODY BROUGHT HOME

The body of Orville Hern, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hern, south of town, arrived in Enid Wednesday of last week from France and was buried here in Sunnyside cemetery on the following day.

The funeral which was held at the Christian church here, was attended by a very large crowd, and was observed by fitting ceremonies. Rev. P.A. Wellman of Enid, delivered the funeral discourse.

Orville was serving in the signal corps in France at the time he was stricken and was on his way home but took suddenly ill with crebro___inal meningitis and died in the hospital at Gievres, France, in a week's time. Death came early in January 1919, and the remains were interred at Gievres to be disterred some weeks ago and shipped to his native country to be laid in the final resting place in his own beloved land.
