June 18, 1918 Inscription: "MISSOURI PVT CO 3 350 INFANTRY WORLD WAR I" - Research Note: Son of George Washington Vineyard and Nancy Virginia Moore. - Cassville Republican, June 27, 1918 - The body of George Thomas Vineyard who was drowned in the Des Moines River arrived at Monett Sunday morning accompanied by Corporal Peterson. Funeral services were held at the Sloan Hotel at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Francis Goodnight of Purdy and Rev. J. F. King of Monett. Internment was made in Odd Fellows' Cemetery. Just how the young man came to his death probably will never be known. He was one of the Monett boys in training at Camp Dodge. He left the camp without permission Saturday. On Tuesday his body was found in the Des Moines River. He had evidently been in the water two or three days. He was clothed in his uniform. The condition of the body was such that identification could not be made except by a letter in the young man's pocket. The delay in sending the body home was due to having to wait for instructions from Washington before the body could be disposed of. George T. Vineyard (known here as Tom) and his brother Orlando came to Monett and about six years ago from Crane. They worked a part of the time for J. B. Burg as teamsters. After he received his call, George worked at odd jobs about town. He was 23 years old. Just before leaving for camp he was married to Lea Nelson the youngest daughter of Mrs. White of this place.
