SIX NOLAN BROTHERS ARE ! NOW UNDER THE COLORS. North Platto has tho distinction and It is an exceptional distinction of being tho homo of six brothers who nre in tho BOdvlco of tholr country. Those six brothers aro the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Nolan, who resided at Wood River, and both of whom passed to tho beyond somo ten years ago. Two years after tho death of tho parents tho children moved to North Platto and have slnco made this city tholr home. The removal wns BUggosted by Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Smith, Mrs. Smith being a sister of tho mother. Miss Julia Nolan "mothered" tho boys and tho younger sister Rcglna, until they reached tho matured age, and now the two sisters aro loft alone. In tho service of their country these six brothers are widely scattered. Paul A. Nolan Is In tho officers' train ing school of tho Second Infantry at Camp Cody; Jas. F. Is with the 24th Engineering Corps, now in Franco; Francis F. Is with Co. G. 355th Infan try at Camp Mills, Long Island; James A). Is In n training camp at Gordon, Ga.; Arthur C. enlisted at Grand Is land this weok, passed through to Ft. Logan Wednesday and from there will probably be sent to Camp Fremont, Co..; while Charles, the sixth of the brothers, was called to Grand Island last Wednesday to take the exnmina tlon for enlistment In tho Railway Engineering Corps. It Is questionable if there is another family in tho state that is represented in the sorvico by six brothers; in fact it Is probable that In these entire United States there aro very few par nllel cases. It Is regretable that Iho parents of these patriotic, sturdy boys could not have lived until these days and thus havo seen a fruition of tho lessons of patriotism tliey must have taught their children, for certainly these boys nre the offspring of a father and mother who loved their country, loved its flag and considered it an honor nnd a privilege to bo citizens of the United States.
