Chris Duhme Killed In Action In France

Chris Harmon Duhme was killed in France while in action, October 4th. He was called to service and left Jackson County with a number of boys on February 25th, 1918 for Camp Dodge, where he was in training for a few weeks and was transferred to Camp Sevier, S.C., going overseas in May.

Chris was a young man with a host of friends and it is with sadness we are called on to chronicle his untimely departure. He leaves to mourn, two sisters, Mrs. Selzer and Emma Duhme, and four brothers, Fred, Henry, Theodore and Frank, and their many friends extend their sympathy to them at this time.

Chris was born in Farmers Creek Township, Jackson County, February 1, 1894. He was one of a family of seven children, whose parents died while he was young. He was baptised in infancy and confirmed in Salem Lutheran Church, Palm Sunday, 1909, and was a consistent member.
