Dr. John Carter, another of our brave boys, gave up his life in Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, last Saturday after a few days illness of influenza followed by pneumonia. Dr. Carter was a veterinary and resided at Bernard for the past year. His remains were brought to Holy Cross, Iowa, and interred beside his mother, who passed away in August at which time the Doctor was home to attend his mother’s funeral, and visited friends in Bernard. Just before leaving for camp a few months ago a farewell party was given in Bernard by the citizens of that town in his honor. He was 24 years of age.
