   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.
