J.E. Love, of west of Spur called in the latter part of the past week, and in conversation with him he stated that he was confident that the body buried here Armistice day was not that of his son, Oliver Love. However, he is confident that his son is dead somewhere in France, and he will care for the grave here in the knowledge that the grave of his son, wherever it may be, is also being looked after. Mr. Love thinks the bodies of the soldier boys who had died in some manner had not been properly identified, notwithstanding the fact that the tag of Oliver Love was not the body shipped to Spur.©The Texas Spur, Nov. 19, 1920
