Mrs. Charles Agan of Macksburg received a telegram May 9 notifying her of the death of her son, Pvt. Edward Briggle, in France. He was accidentally killed while operating a piece of motorized equipment, on April 25.

Private Briggle had been in the army more than two years, but had been overseas only a few months. Prior to entering service, he had spent some time in Madison county with his mother, and had done some farm work here. He was married, and his wife lives in Colorado.
