CALMAR SOLDIER DEAD
William Twedt Passed Away in a Hospital in France

The community was shocked on Saturday, when the news arrived of the death of William Twedt in a hospital in France. William Twedt is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E.M. Twedt, living just west of Calmar. He was among the first boys from this community to reach the battle fronts of France and he received serious wounds early last fall. The Telegram received by the father of the unfortunate boy merely stated that William Twedt died on March 26th from wounds received while in action. From time to time the family had received cards written by other parties as to the progress of the young man, the last card received stating that he was progressing as rapidly as could be expected. It had been hoped that the boy would recover from his wounds, and his folks had reason to believe that he would, as his wounds were received so long ago that it was not now considered probable that death would result from them.

It is a great shock to the family and they have the sympathy of the community in their sorrow. Calmar Courier
