Henry Ohl, of Dunlap, Dies the Day He Was Called to the Colors at Camp Dodge.

DUNLAP, Feb. 26--An unusually sad thing happened in connection with the boys that were called to the draft this week in the case of Henry Ohl, who was registered in Denison but gets his mail at Dunlap. His death resulted from double pneumonia on the day he was to have reported at Denison.

The father telephoned the sheriff and told him that his boy would not report that day, that he had answered his last call and would be buried on the following day. His funeral took place at Charter Oak on the day that the rest of the boys started for Des Moines.
