BRADEN VOUGHT DIES AT CAMP DODGE

Soldier From Union Township Gives His All to Maintain the Nations Honor.

The body of Braden Vought was brought home Sunday morning under the charge of Serg. Tom Cessna.

The soldier boy died Saturday of the flu after but a short sickness.

Pvt. Vought was one of the contingent which left the county Sept. ? and the home-coming was indeed a sorrowful one.

There being no Sunday service on the M. & St. L., the father met the body and took it home where the funeral was held yesterday.

Braden Vought was a member of the 40th Co., 163d Depot Brigade.
