ELVINS HONOR ROLL
We are indebted to Mrs. Carr Hartshorn for a list of all the
Elvins men who served in the army or navy during the world war. A service flag was placed
in a prominent position in the post office and on it these names were placed from time to
time, and as it became necessary, stars were placed for those who were killed or wounded.
Of the 98 men who went from Elvins, three were killed:
Hervy Blaylock
Lawrence Vaughn
Claude Raymond Hale
Six were wounded in action:
Arthur Wofford
Lester L. Sebastian
Henry Oscar Nabors
Irvin Tycate
[sic - only four names listed]
Of this number all have returned home except Emmett Reece and
George and Arthur Bell. Young Reece is still in the navy, having re-enlisted. It is not
known where the Bell boys are. It is supposed that they have been released from the army
but have not returned to Elvins.
The list, which might well be termed an honor roll, follows:
Frank Carr
Milburn Whaley
R. Sloan
Harry Smith
Dr. S. Vagnara
Emmett Reece
James Layne
Clyde McGuire
Willard Pinston
John Conway
