The body of Pvt. Everett Powers, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Powers and one of Warren County’s first heroes to fall in the great war, arrived here Saturday morning, accompanied by Pvt. Alfred Lacombe. The body was conveyed to the American Legion hall, where it will be kept, awaiting the arrival of the body of Pvt. Donald Killen, who is expected within the next few days, and in all probability, both funeral services will be held together.
