Obituary
Lloyd L. Prouty was born at
Greenwood, Nebraska, June 23, 1900.
At the age of eight years he united
with the church at Alvo and lived a
consistent Christian life and was
faithful to the church. He went to
Canada with his father in IS 09 and
lived in Alberta and Saskatchewan
for five years. He went from there
! to Chewelah, Washington, where he
went to school for two years. He was
loved by all his schoolmates and
had a knack of making friends not
only with boys, his own age but al
so with grown men. He moved to
Davenport, Washington, in 1916 and
was working there for the Banner
meat company, a wholesale and re
tail meat firm and was climbing iry
to success.
He displayed his loyalty to his
country when within ten days after
war was declared he enlisted in 4hc
United States Navy, leaving home on
the 23rd of April, 1917. On the 16th
of April he and five other boys hired
acar and went to Spokane to enlist.
Three of these boys backed out and
one failed in Spokane to pass. Lloyd
and one other boy went to Portland
and took the second examination on
the 24th. Lloyd was the only one
of the Davenport boys to pass and
he had to go on to San Francisco
with strange boys who had enlisted
in Spokane from eastern Washing
ton. He wa3 sent with a large num
ber of' boys to Balboa park, at San
Diego, California. This park is the
old Panama Exposition grounds and
is an ideal place for our navy boys
amongst flower gardens and palm
trees. Lloyd enjoyed himself great

ly here and in November he was sent 1
with "00 other boys to Norfolk, Va.,
but there it was a different atmos
phere and made the boys shiver.
When Uncle Sam took over seventy
or :r.ore of thore Dutch boats Lloyd
was placed on the U. R. S. Arunda
and then on the V. S. S. Celebes.
These boats were u::cd on the over
seas transport service. The last let
ter lie wrote was in New York. City
on the 23rd of April, saying he was
having a swell time and had an in
vitation with the oilier boys to at
tend freo the largest theatre in the
city. This was the last I knew of
his whereabouts until on the 27th of
May I received :i message saying he
was serioiiFly ill 'of diphtheria in
the naval hospital at Portsmouth. Va.
Answering the morsage I received
word that he had died on May 2.",,
at 7:lf a. in., aged 17 y-mrs, 11
months and 2 days.
While in San Diego Lloyd bought
a $100.00 Liberty bond and paid
S.'O.OQ down and the balance at
$10.00 a month besides paying $10
a month on insurance. I think any
father can be proud of such loyal
American boys as was Lloyd.
Yours faithfully,
M. A. PROUTY.
The remains were shipped from
Portsmouth., Va., arriving Saturday,
June 1, 10 IS, and the funeral was
held the following day from the M.
E. church, conducted by Rev. C. E.
Connell. Burial was made in the
Alvo cemeterv.
SOZvIETHIKG TO THINK ABOUT
If you are a sufferer from stomach
troubles, indigestion, headache, etc.,
then it is very apparent to anyone
that a remedy which will clean out
thoroughly the stomach and at the
same time invigorate the digestive
system, must bring relief from the
annoying conditions. Triner's Amer
ican Elixir of Bit.er Wine consist s
of bitter herbs of eminent medici
nal value which clean the stomach
and of pure red wine which streng
thens the system. It is a very pal
atable preparation and you will be
delighted with this remedy. A med
ical monthly writes in the May num
ber: "It is all right, as i severy
thing that comes from the Triner's
laboratories." Trice $1.10. At drug
stores. Triner's Liniment is ini
cqualed for rheumatism, neuralgia,

FroTTi Tuesday's Daily.
Chief of Police Barclay and Sher
iff Quinton have been very busy the
past few- days handling the "booze"
business cf this section of the coun
ty, and at the same time adding con
siderable revenue to the county
treasurer of Cass county. In most
all cases the fines are promptlv paid,
although some of them believe that
they are not quite fairly dealth with,
but at the same time have violated
the law. This seems to be about the
case in the Wm. Marsh and Don
Rhoden case coming from Murray
Monday evening. Both gentlemen
were fined $100 and costs, Mr. Rhod- j
en being charged with the possession
section of the statute, owing to the
fact that the wet goods was located
around his livery barn, although it
was in the hands of other parties,
and was brought there by other
parties. However both fines were
paid. Mr. Rhoden says that he
knew nothing of the wet goods being '
in or about his barn. i
