The last week has brought the war home forcibly to
people of Gladwin county. News of the deaths of
Privates Andrew Bryan Oard and Max Nagel at Camp
Custer and Edward W. Vanest, who was employed on
government work at Hog Island, received Friday, was
followed by news that Ben; son of John Thorington of
Sage township, was killed in action Sept. 27 in
France, and that Leslie, son of George Greer, and
Raymond, son of Henry Clay Arnce, had died of
influenza at Camp Custer.
The body of Private Andrew Bryan Oard, Medical
Attachment, was brought to Winegar from Camp Custer,
where he died of Spanish influenza Oct. 9, and taken
to his home in Arbutus Oct. 12. Services were held at
the home Monday afternoon. The body of Private Max
Nagel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nagel, arrived in
Gladwin Saturday afternoon from Camp Custer; and was
taken to his home near Beaverton. He died Oct. 10 of
Spanish influenza, followed by pneumonia. Services
were held Monday morning at the home at 9:30.
S. Ascher has received official notice that his
son, John Ascher, was severely wounded in battle Sept.
27, in France. Further mention will follow in next
issue of the Record.
