The Editor of the Republican is in receipt of the following letter from Dr. H. S. Loveless the Cassville veterinarian who lately left for the army service and is now at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga. The weather is very warm here through the day but gets very cool in the evenings. I sleep under two heavy wool blankets every night. A person would hardly think that of Georgia and it being so far south. We are in an altitude of 1500 feet and I presume that is responsible for the cool nights. Lookout Mountain northwest of us about five miles and can be seen very plainly from our barracks. A large monument, which marks the line of battle is situated on its crest. Camp Greenleaf is located in Chickamauga Park and is a very nice place. Large tombstones, monuments, cannons and cannon balls mark the lines of battle through the park. Near the Cavalry field is a large pyramid of grape shot cannon balls which is said to contain more than 9000 balls. On a whole I like it very well here and enjoy it very much. Last week we had quite a bit of cavalry riding. Each man that goes must pick his own animal to ride. They are all western horses and some are very tricky. I have been very lucky so far and picked one that doesn't pitch. It is quite an experience and I like it very much. This week I have very nice Am detailed to guard one corral of horses from 10 o'clock p.m. to 2 at night. The remaining 20 hours I can sleep or do as I please. I have been here 11 days and have gained 4 1/2 pounds. We have good eats and some real "old time" wheat floor bread. Sure is almost like home used to be. I must close for this time as it is getting late. Respectfully, H. S. Loveless, Vet. Camp No. 1 Camp Greenleaf, Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga. |

About two years ago she contracted tuberculosis from which trouble she died at the age of 38 years. She was a woman of culture and a devoted Christian lady. He exemplary life of service for others will be a consolation to her bereaved relatives. She leaves three bothers, two of who are physicians in California, and four sisters.

Mrs. Nancy S. Horine, wife of Michael Horine, died at their home in Cassville, Monday afternoon, August 26, 1918, following an illness of less than two days, at the age of 69 years, 5 months and 9 days. Mr. Horine had been sick for several days and Mrs. Horine had been in apparently good health and cared for him until he was improving. Sunday special services were held for old people at the Baptist Church and as Mr. Horine could not attend, Mrs. Horine had planned to go. But Saturday night she took suddenly ill and within forty hours she passed to her eternal home. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. W. Keitner of Neosho, were held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church and interment made in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. Nancy S. Fly was born in Barry County near Corsicana March 17, 1849. She was a daughter of J. N. and Nancy Fly who came to this county from Tennessee in 1839, being one of the pioneer families to locate in this county for their permanent home. J. N. Fly died in 1873 on the old Fly homestead after a useful life, many years of which were devoted to public service in various positions of trust and honor. There were ten children in the family only one of whom is left since the death of Mrs. Horine, Mrs. Paralee Woodward who attended the funeral of her sister. Nancy S. Fly and Michael Horine were married January 30, 1868, by Rev. Asa Carlin. To them six children were born, three of whom are living: Preston E. Horine, Miss Etta at home and Mrs. Cora Hawk, wife of Cleo Hawk. She was converted in childhood and united with the Baptist church and had lived a devoted Christian life. For about thirty years she had been a member of the Cassville Baptist Church and while not able to attend the services as much as she desired on account of home ties she was one of the oldest and most faithful of its members. Her devotion and loving care to an afflicted daughter and to the members of her family revealed in her the character and spirit of the true mother. The sympathy of this community goes out to the aged husband and to the members of the family in their bereavement. Card of Thanks
Our sincere thanks are extended to our friends and neighbors who with loving hands ministered unto us during our bereavement in the death of our beloved wife and mother.

Charles Cole departed this life August 19, 1918. He was born August 26, 1877 in Knox County, OH. He came to this county with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cole, when he was about eight years old. In 1898 he was married to Miss Ora Bowman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Bowman, of this county. To this union five children were born, two boys and three girls, one girl having preceded her father to the great beyond. Those living are Ralph, Maude, Della and Joe. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and had always been a faithful member. The funeral services were held at the Concord Church, conducted by Rev. McCaslin, and interment made in the Concord cemetery. For ten weeks he suffered intensely but bore his suffering with Christian fortitude. Everything was done for him that loving hands could do. It is sad to see one taken away in the prime of manhood but our trust is in Him who does all things well. Contributed. Card of Thanks
We take this means of expressing our thanks to our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us and extended sympathy and consolation during the illness and death of our beloved little Eunice. May God bless you all. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Beeson and sons, Elbert and Estel. From the Auto School Rabe Auto School, Kansas City, Mo. To Friends at Home: I take this means of writing to my friends in Barry County. With the boys from Barry county I arrived here on the morning of August 15. We were met at the depot by the boys of the school and taken to our barracks in trucks, government trucks. They were very large. I couldn't begin to guess how many they would carry, however there were five loads on our train from various states. We were given down Main street and on through the best part of the city sightseeing. Then we crossed the Missouri river and went through north Kansas City. The crowds along the streets yelled at the top of their voices and flags where waved from every window. To our surprise we were stopped at a large building bearing the sign "Sears Roebuck & Co." We were soon ordered out of the trucks and informed that this building had been taken over by the government and was to be our new home. The Roebuck building is a very large 12 story brick and is used for our barracks. Our school is a very large brick, too, standing just across the street from our barracks. Our eats are good, like mother bakes. We have entertainments of all kinds, such as boxing, wrestling, etc. and all kinds of music. We were out on the field Saturday evening under command of attention when some of the boys saw an aeroplane. Under command of attention we are not supposed to move an eye from the commander but this being the first areoplane most of us ever saw, you can imagine how we obeyed. The sergeant commanded rest and told us to look for we would soon have to get used to seeing those things. We nearly all passed the physical examination and have our full equipment as soldiers. We have had two "shots" in the arm, too. Pvt. Frank Stubblefield, Rabe Auto School, North Kansas City, Mo., Co. 12, Aug. 21, 1918. Loren Horner Writes From France
The following letter was lately received by Mrs. Martha Horner of near this city from her son, Loren, who is in France in the United States army. Dear Mother: How are you all? I am getting along fine. We have moved since I wrote you before. We are about a hundred mils from where we were. It is a nice camp here but it is not as good as the other camp. There is no town of any size near here. We were right in town at the other camp. I ran onto Vern Joslin here at this camp. He has been here ever since he came to France. He runs a motorcycle for the officers. I guess we will get our wagons and everything we need in a few days. We are drilling a little every day now. This part of France is different from any that I have yet seen. It is hilly here, something like the Ozark country. All the country I had seen here before this was smooth country. They do not have any large farms here, all are small patches, about an acre in a field. They cut their hay and grain with a sickle and rake it by hand. They have ox carts and work two oxen to two wheel carts. They work the yoke on the horns instead of on the shoulders. They also work dogs to carts. When they work more than one horse to plows they do not work them side by side but put one in front of the other. They do not drive the horses but have someone lead the front horse. The farmers build their houses and their barns under the same enclosure. They live in one room and have their cows and horse in the other room. The poorer class live most anyway but the better to do class are nice and live well. They live in fine houses and dress well. They use small trains in France. They look like toys in comparison with the trains used in the United States. We soldiers get to ride most of the time in box cars. We just crowd in like so many cattle. It does not take long to go across France. They have the Y. M. C. A. headquarters over here, better ones than they have at the home camps. I do not know what the soldiers would do were it not for the Y. M. C. A. They have church on Sunday and during the week picture shows and entertainment for us. There are a number of American girls working at the headquarters. I would like to send you some picture views of this country but I can't send them. I have been some of those old castles you have heard so much about where the old lords of the estates used to live. They are great sights. I saw one that they claim is over 1,800 years old. From your son, Loren Horner, Co. F. 110 Am. Train |

MRS. NANCY S. HORINE DEAD
The anchor of time was cast, the ship that sailed over the peaceful sea and landed in the harbor of sweet deliverance, where saints immortal dwell in eternal happiness, for living the good prescribed in the book of books, the Holy Bible. Sadness pervaded this city, when the announcement was made of the sudden passing of this excellent wife, mother, citizen and neighbor, esteemed by everybody who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
