HOM FOR BURIAL
Lexington Lad DMes Widle Serving his
Country in Far Off Siberia, and His
Body Brought Back for Interment.
Lexington, S. C., April .25.-'The pow
erful efficiency of the government, in
-at least one line of its endeavor-no
matter however weak it nay appear
in others--has been clearly demon
strated in the case of a Lexington
county young man, a member of Un
cle Sam's regular army, who died in
faraway Siberia, on December '12, 1919.
The young man in question was Mil
ton Shirley, son of Vacob W. Sbirley
;prominent -planter and lumberman of
the Hollow Creek section of this coun
ty. On December 24, last, the father
of the young man received word that
his son had died of pneumonia on De
cember 12, and reqilesting instruction
as to the parents wishes in the dispo
sition of the body. The father imme
diately sent a message asking that the
remains of his soldier-son be sent
back to Lexington, if such could be
accomplished. A few days later an
other 'message came in which it was
stated that the effort could be accom
plished but it would require four
months for the body to cross the wa
ters and get back to Lexington.
iNothing further passed between the
government and relatives of the young
man until Friday, April 16, when a
message came saying that the body of
young Shirey had arrived Jn San
Francisco, California, and that it
would be immediately forwarded to
Prosperity, the point named In the. in
structions sent requesting that the re
mains be sent -home for interment.
The corpse arrived at 'Prosperity on
last Alonday, April 19, and was trans.
ferred to the old Lexington Baptist
church, in this county, eighteen miles
from the court house, where the inter
ment was held on Tuesday.
Only a brief burial service, however,
was conducted, the Rev. W. A. Dutton
jpertormlng tho last sad' rite0 in the
presence of hundreds of friends and
relatives, who came to pay a last tri
Jbuto to the Lexington soldier boy.
The casket was opened at the grave
and it is declared by relatives and
friends that tie body was in a splen
did state of preservation; that every
-feature of the young man was clearly
of the family that the .body whs that
-of their relative. The government paid
all expenses of the transportation, and
nothing was left undone to care foi
and preserve the body.
Mliton Shirey was about 20 years o!
age. He enlisted in the army soi
time during last year and was h1om(
for the last time in September, le ii
survived by his parents, Mr. and 'Mrs
Jacob W. Shirey, together wit-h Bev
oral brothers and sisters.
Mr. and Mrs. Shirley feel grateful ti
the government for the interest mani
fested in the case, and aro high Ii
their praise of the splendid emflcienc:
demonstrated in bringing the body o
their son back.
