Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zager of Frank Pierce, received a telegram Tuesday that their son, Otto Zager, is dead in France. The cause of his death is not yet known. He leaves his parents, one sister, Mrs John Kinsinger, and two brothers, Eric and Herbert. Otto was the youngest son, and was aobut twenty-two years of age. He went into the service about the first of July and had been in France about six weeks. As far as known, Otto Zager is the first of Johnson county's heroes to die overseas, and she is justly proud of the young soldier.
