CLEM SHANAHAN-

Clem Shanahan was 22 years old, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shanahan, who reside in the west side of Otter Creek township. He is survived by his parents, three sisters and two brothers. His funeral was held from the home on Saturday to South Garry Owen church, where services were conducted by the home pastor, assisted by Revs. Coffee and Rooney, of Manchester, who preached an eloquent sermon on the sacrifice our brave boys are making in the defense of our country. The church was filled with friends who came to pay their last tribute of respect to their young friend. The K. C. and C. O. of Foresters marched as an escort, Mr. Shanahan being a member of both orders. Eight cousins of the deceased acted as casket bearers. The casket being carried with a flag a silent emblem of what this young man had laid down his life for.
