Aaron Henson, son of E.G. Henson, two miles northwest of Purdy, died Thursday, Feb. 27, of pneumonia and spinal disease. Aaron had been discharged from the military service and had reached home only four days before his death. He saw service in France and while at the front was wounded in battle and gassed. He had not fully recovered from the effects of the gas which left his lungs in a very poor condition to withstand an attack of pneumonia. The funeral was held Saturday and interment made at Purdy. From Washington
George Robbins of Hatton, Wash., son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Robbins of near Verona, writes to renew subscription to the REPUBLICAN and sends the following news item from conditions there where he is operating a large ranch: A six inch snow now covers mother earth for which we are truly thankful, although we have had more moisture this winter than for many years at this time. Winter wheat is small but looking fine. We had a complete failure last year, but everyone is looking forward to a good crop this year as a large acreage of winter wheat was seeded. The weather up to yesterday has been almost equal to a California winter. A number of our soldier boys have returned from France, but more remain there than has returned. They all seem to be glad to come to good old America even though there are so many attractions in Paris and London. Wishing everybody a prosperous year, I am, Geo. T. Robbins. Letter From Merion Black
The following letter is from Merion J. Black, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Black of near Cassville. This letter is the first news his parents had received from their son for months and they were very uneasy about him. American Expeditionary Forces, February 6, 1919 Dear Mother: I am getting along fine. Am enjoying the best of health. I have not written a letter in so long I know you are worrying about me. When the Armistices was signed another soldier comrade and I said we would not write any more as we thought we would soon start for home but now we have changed our minds. We see that we did not get to start home as soon as we thought we would. We are now sorry that we have not written sooner. I am doing police duty on the battlefield. I believe that we are through with that duty now but I do not know for sure. It is certainly is a sight to look over these battlefields. I am sure glad we came up here. I landed at Brest when we reached France. Then went to Saintmazaier, from there to Vanes, from Vanes to Toul and now we are around in the Toul sector. You spoke of Albert writing to me. I have never received his letter. Maybe will be home for the Fourth of July, but of course I do not know. I will write to you more often now. Merion J. Black, Co. B 7th A. M. T. N. Mr. and Mrs. Black have another son, Albert, who is also with the American Army in Europe. Writing to them several weeks ago Albert tells of his experience at the front. He said among other things, "I was at the front several days and you may be sure it was quite a place. The Germans seemed to be glad to see us come. They sent over heavy shell fire but didn't hurt any of us. Shells bursted all around me. While we were seeking shelter from their shells in the basement of a building shells came through the roof. When we were sent out as a working part to do some work that had to be done shells bursted to close to me they threw dirt all over me. They were close enough for me. One night we were sent over to the German trenches. We must have gone down the trench for 100 yards before we saw a German. They discovered us and threw hand grenades. One struck the top of the trench right by me and I was covered with dirt. We all were lucky in getting back." Albert is with he 350 infantry. License To Wed

N. Still, Dear Father and Mother: I will take the time and pleasure to answer our most kind and welcome letters that I received today. You don't know how glad I was to hear from home. I am just fine and enjoying the best of health. How are you all by now? Fine, I hope. Well, it has been snowing here for two days. But the snow melts just about as fast as it falls. This is the second snow I have seen this winter. But both of them together wouldn't make one like you have there. Am sorry the flu is so bad over there. There is some over here also. I was in Coblenz a week ago today, and that sure is some place and I sure saw some fine scenery over there. I got something they call ice cream but it didn't taste like ice cream to me or probably it has been so long since I have eaten any I have forgotten how it did taste. I received a letter from Guy Cole the other day. He isn't so very far from me and I sure would like to see him for I haven't seen but one boy from Barry County since I have been over here, and he was in the 42 division. I am in the 32 division, so if you have read anything about that division you will know that I was with them in every drive, and we were in five battles. Mother if I were here you would not have so many eggs to eat in so long I have forgotten how they taste. I passed through Paris twice but I couldn't get off the train. I sure would like to spend a week in Paris. Well as I have been working hard will close with love to all, Goodbye. Answer soon. Pvt. John Still, Ambulance Co. 128, 107 San Train A. P. O. 73, A. E. F.
