COUNTY BOYS Services to be Held at the County Seat for All Boys Who Have Died for their Country. Public services in memory of all Idaho county soldiers and sail- ors who have died of wounds or on the battle field will be held at Grangeville, Sunday, February 2. Grangeville is making prepara- | tions to make this memorial ser- , ati, : $ z | now under construction; and is vice one of the largest and most! impressive ever witnessed in the county seat. Speakers of promin- ence from various sections of the county will speak. On account of the influenza epi- demic these services have been somewhat neglected all over the’ county and as the flu ban is lift- ed in various sections of the county these services have been ‘carried out in honor of the boys in their respective communities from which they came. Grange- ville now is planning on having a county memorial service in hon- or of all boys who have died for their country. Many Cottonwood people have already made plans to attend and those who attend perhaps will wit- ness a scene that does not happen in every man’s life. Following is a list of boys in whose honor the memorial will be held: Julius Holthaus, Cottonwood. Clark D. Jessup, Cottonwood. Berrard Doll, Ferdinand. Leland Toll, Kooskia. Francis Chamberlain, Riggins. Earl English, Kooskia. Frank Burlinghoff, Whitebird. Omer K. Ewing, Stites. Lt. John A. Long, Grangeville. | Groyer Johnson, Grangeville.
