From Saturday's Pally.
Mrs. John Wynn received a letter
a few days ago from his folks in the
state of Washington, telling of the
death of her brother, Herschel Pet
ty, who will be remembered as hav
ing lived here and having enlisted
nearly two years ago. He had gone
to France and was in many of the
engagements there during the early
portion of the summer.
In one of these he was slightly
wounded and was in a hospital un
til he was well enough to return to
the front. In an action of Septem
ber 2Sth. he received a fatal shot,
while facing the enemy. The folks,
who were living in Washington, re
ceived the official notification some
six weeks later, they then writing to
Mrs. Wynn. telling her of the bad
news. On the return of the 127th.
or "Sandstorm" division the news
of his death was confirmed. Word
has also been received of the other
brother, William Petty, .who received
gas very severely, and rumor had it
thai he had passed away in a hos
pital later, but this lacks confirma
tion, and his many friends and rel
atives entertain the hope that there
is no truth in the matter.
Mrs. Wynn has the sympathy .of
all in the loss of her one brother,
and the hope that the other will be
all right. With the long time that
has elapsed since the report of the
gassing, there is a growing feeling
of certainty that he has not died,
for by this time his death should
have been confirmed. We sincerely
hope that he will return, and that
the rumor is in error, as it has thus
far been proven to be.
