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.
JUNE CALL WILL TAKE
