Oscar Stevenson, is very disquieting. "a A few days ago a letter came from p Claude Wilkinson to his mother, stating that he was very sorry about s Oscar Stevenson. In a little while the letter from Francis Mabry came,' stating that members of the company of which Oscar was an officer, Vio/^ fliof 4-V? n 1 o Hny woe ituu cvabcu vimv tnu w ao in action a few days before. This letter was dated on 16th. No fur-ig t.her news has been received, noth-l(J ing having come to his parents, Mr. v and Mrs. W. A. Stevenson. The ^ news as contained in the letter of Francis Mabry, however, comes from a source which almost seems authen- j. tic- ; c William Oscar Stevenson volun- j teered and entered the service at v Laurens, S. C., as a private on June c 2nd, 1917, joining the Butler Guards, now Company A. 118th^v Infantry, 30th Division. lie made a "j. fine soldier, and in rapid order bocame a first class private, Corporal v and then Sergeant. Last summer ^ he was selected to attend an nffinnrc' two years. He spent one year in New York in business with his uncle, J W. D. Tusten, but he loved his homej ! and he came back and engaged in; business here for several years be-, i fore his country called him to service. i He was among the first to volun-: teer for the training camp at Fort^ ~ ~ ! training school at Leon Springs, Texas. On July 1st, of this year he was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant of t his old company. The last letter received by his s father was written on October 4th. s In it he enclosed his discharge from the army, which was granted in or- ^ der that he might accept the position as officer. In the certificate of j discharge, under the head of re-; marks, the 1st Lieutenant of his,1 : i company wrote: "Service honest and faithful," "Has n excellent 1 record as a soldier." Lieut. Stevenson has rr. my friends in Abbeville, where his boyhood was spent. He answered his country's 1 call at the first opportunity and; went to the front. His rapid pro1 | motion bears evidence of his stand-! j I I ing and worth. Many people will j wish as they read this account, that^ some mistake may have been made,, and that the worst has not happened. j But if he was called upon to make the suoreme s?r?rifir>p fhnco' know him best will know that he met death like a man, and died with his face to the front. o EUGENE B.
