Have Not Heard from
Son in France Since
July 9; Was in Gimp
Ex-Postmasr Joseph Crow and
wife of this city are much con
cerned as to the probable fate of
their son, Arthur Jennings Crow, a
sharpshooter with the marines who
fought m France. (
On December 28 the family re
ceived a telegram from the War
department at Washington to the
effect that their son had been se
verely wounded in action about No
vember 1 1, the day the armistice was
signed.
That same evening they tele
graphed the department asking the
nature of the injuries the young
man received, and also the address
of the hospital at which he was
being treated.
Two days afterward they got an
answer from Washington, s?ying:
f3'
"Exact condition and whereabouts
of Priv. Arthur P. Crow not known."
Almost daily since then the fanw
ily has addressed inquiries for fur
ther information to the department
but these have been unanswered. I
Arthur Jennings Crow was in tho
exempt class when he volunteered in
the marines last February. He said
it was his duty to enlist. During the
last of June he was on the firing
line in France and had qualified ai
a marksman. m
The last letter the family received
from him was on July 9, in which
he said he had been on the firing
line for six das and was then in
the rest camp.
He stated that he had not received
a letter from the family all the timo
he had been on the other side, al
though his father and mother had
written to him weekly.
The fact they can get no news aj
to the wounds sustained or the place
where the young man is located
leaves the family doubtful as to his
fate and is causing them a great
deal of anxiety.
