I was very sorry to hear of the death of Lee Elston. I was glad to know that Kyle Earl got to come home on his furlough. The navy boys have not seen as many hardships as we have. I have just received my six months service stripes. I have been in 5 drives. I suppose you know what that means. At the time the armistice was signed I was on the front and we were given the Huns H___. Three times I got into the gas but was lucky as I had my mask right around my neck. I will wait till I get home to tell you how close the Willies fell to me. When we sailed we went first to Halifax, Canada, thence by Ireland to Liverpool, to London and across the channel to LaHarve, France. My first excitement was on the ship. The submarines got after us. They sank one ship. Well, it is over now. There is no more excitement. Maybe I will be sailing home some of these days. I am at Strautsburg, Germany now. My health is good. We had some good pork for Christmas dinner. Answer soon, from, Ed Catron, Co., C, 105 Am. train, 30 Div. A. E. F. - Cassville Republican, Thursday, April 24, 1919 - Ed Catron, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Catron northwest of Cassville, arrived home Sunday from France.

Inscription: "Father" - Research Note: The Confederate Veteran, Vol. XXVII, Nashville, TN, Jan. 1920 - James C. Crane Passed into life eternal at Exeter, Barry Co., MO., on July 8, 1920, after a lingering illness, James C. Crane, eldest son of the late Col. Joseph and Margaret Ellen (Isler) Crane, of Charles Town, W. Va., in his seventy-fifth year. At the commencement of the War between the States James Crane, then sixteen years old, was a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, which he left to join Company B, 12th Virginia Cavalry, commanded by Capt. R. W. Baylor, afterwards by his son, Capt. George Baylor, in Rosser's Brigade. In his notes made on the margin of a pocket Testament, young Crane tells of the intense cold of the winter of 1864 on the raid to Beverly, Va. "My feet were terribly frozen," he writes, "while in camp at McDowell. Rosser, with three hundred and fifty men, captured over eight hundred Yankees of the 169th Ohio Infantry from Dayton. Our turkeys did not come up; rations scarce." In the battle of the Wilderness, May 4, 1864, he states: "Our brigade repulsed Wilson's whole division for three days, also fought Gregg's Division on the 6th. On that day I was severely wounded and was taken to the hospital in Staunton, where for several months I was tenderly cared for by the volunteer nurses of that city, among whom were Mrs. Matilda Trout, Mrs. Anna Forrest, Mrs. William Harman, and others. God bless these noble women!" This wound caused him much suffering through life. After recovering he reentered the service and fought to the end. After the surrender he went to St. Joseph, Mo., and in 1867, with two companions, he walked from St. Joseph, via Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia, to his home in Charles Town (now W. Va.), Va. There was no braver private in the Confederate service than James Crane. He had been a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for twenty-five years. He was married in 1873 to Miss Nellie Leith, of Loudoun County, Va. Ten children were born to them, four of whom survive him--two sons and two daughters. He had lived in Missouri nearly forty years. - Leo Crane of Exeter, MO was the informant on the death certificate. - Son of Joseph James Crane and Margaret Isler. - August 5, 1905, Saturday, Cassville Democrat - Exeter News: Mrs. Nellie Dresback of Haskill, I.
