    • Russell McElfresh, The Franklin Chronicle, 14 Nov 1918
      "Russell McElfresh; First Volunteer From Franklin; Makes the Supreme Sacrifice in France; Killed in Action, October 7th. This Young Man Gave His Life For Liberty.
      "The sad news reached Franklin last night that Russell McElfresh had made the supreme sacrifice, somewhere in France.  Russell McElfresh is the first soldier from Franklin to give his life for freedom.  We had begun to hope that none of our boys would be taken; that all would be spared to come back home.
      McElfresh was killed in action on October 7, 1918, and the War Department so notified his parents at Springboro last night.  Russell was the first Franklin boy to volunteer and Postmaster McCarthy took him to Dayton where he enlisted in the regular army.  At the time of his enlistment his parents resided on Route 3, and the young man was working for the Gas Company.  He has a brother, MArion, who enlisted in Lebanon and went out with the company under Captain McCreary."

      Germany, February 15, 1919
      Mr. G. M. McElfresh,
      Springboro, Ohio
      Dear Sir: - No doubt you have received notification of the death of your son, Pvt. 1st C. Russell F. McElfresh, who was a member of the M. G. Co. of the 39th Inf. of which regiment I had the honor to command throughout the war.  I am indeed sorry I have been forced to delay owing to the difficulties of the campaigns this brief message of sympathy.  Your son was killed instantly by shell fire in the Doisde Septsarges, October 7, 1918.  His company commander speaks very highly of his courage and rated him as one of his most faithful and reliable men.  He remains near where he fill fighting for his country and is marked by a cross to which is firmly fastened the army identification tag.
      I wish to assure you Mr. McElfresh that we sympathize with you and your family most deeply in your great loss, at the same time we congratulating you upon being the father of a boy who rushed forward in the very beginning to volunteer his services to his country in the crisis, and one who never shirked when the final test came.
      Most Sincerely,
      Colonel F. C. Bolles
      _____________________
      Private, 1st C. Russell F. McElfresh, 39th Inf., M. G. Co. 4th Division, Regulars, the eldest son of Mr. And Mrs. G. M. Mcelfresh, was born near Owensville, Ohio, August 8, 1894.
      On April 17, 1917, he enlisted from Franklin, Ohio, and the following month was spent at Camp Eagle Pass, Texas, from there he was sent to Camp Syracuse, Syracuse N. Y. for six months, while the winter of 1917-18 was spent in training at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N.C.  The latter part of May, 1918 he landed in France and on October 7, 1917, he was instantly killed in action by shell fire and was buried near the roadside in Dois De Septsarger about one mile from the village of Septsarges, France.
      "I like this life," he often wrote to home folks for army life is just what we make it and through all his long raining and active service he never complained, and at the age of 24 years and two months he gave his life mourned deeply by officers and comrades, father, mother, sister, brothers, and friends.
      One brother, Marion, is a member of Co. E., 147th Inf., 37th Division."
    • MILITARY FUNERAL. Body of Russell McElfresh Laid to Rest., The Franklin (Oho) Chronicle, September 15, 1921
      "The body of Russell McElfresh, killed in the Argonne, in France, reached Franklin last Saturday morning as was at once taken to the home of his parents in Springboro.  On Monday afternoon funeral services were held at the U. B. Church, in Springboro, under the direction of Russell McElfresh Post, American Legion.  The funeral was a military one and the services were beautiful and impressive.  Two vocal duets were given by Miss Uenna Bruscup and Mrs. Graham.  All the ministers of Springboro participated and the eulogy was delivered by Chaplain Hughes, of Miamisburg.  Following the services at the church, the body was brought to Franklin and buried on the Soldiers' lot in Woodhill cemetery.  A bugler and firing squad paid the parting honors to the dead soldier, as the casket was lowered into the grave.
      Russell McElfresh was the first volunteer from this vicinity, having offered his services to Postmaster McCarthy four days after the United States entered the world War.  He was the only soldier from here to fall in action.
      The local Post of the American Legion was named in his honor."
