Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, February 28, 1919

Bellevue Leader-

The sad news was received last week by Mr. and Mrs. Coleman Tompkins of Van Buren township that their son Will was killed in France on November 9, just two days before the Armistice was signed. The news was not only a shock to the family of the young man, but to the entire community as well. Thus is another name added to the honor roll from Jackson county of those who made the supreme sacrifice for the good of democracy and humanity.
