Mr. E. J. Merrem.
Shiner, Texas.
My dear Mr. Merrem:
I have just re-
ceived your letter relative to
your nephew Sergeant Edgar F.
Merrem, deceased. Sergeant
Merrem was wounded in action
on the afternoon of September
13th and sent to some hospita’
back of the lines. As we werr
about torgo into action I received
notice from the hospital that he
had died on the 16th of Septem-
ber from his wounds.
On account of his extraordi-
nary ability and aptitude in
school for gas defense, Sergeant
Merrem had been appointed Gas
Non-Commissioned Officer for
our company, making him a part
of the Company headquarters,
group. When we went into action
on the 13th of September he was
with me during the entire ad-
vance. Late in the afternoon
when we reached our objective
and were awaiting further orders
our group was hit directly bv a
high explosive shell, killing in-
stantly our supply sergeant and
wounding Sergeant Merrem and
others who were near. T had
moved to one flank only a few
minutes before this occured to
reconnoiter our new position for J2f0 Csmp Trayis. His loss to
the night. When I returned L,ur company is sorely felt by all,
found Sergeant Merrem with ,ut such is war. If, any degree
one leg shattered by a shell frag-,£ solace is to be found in so
ment above the knee and otherrJeat a loss of American man-
minor wounds. The enemy shellhfood, his family should find some
fire was terrific, but shortly our^egress of comfort in the proud
artillery silenced all his gunsConsciousness of having contrik
save a few long range ones, ancbuted so largely to the needs off

the Western Front, including a

iergeant Merrem was as cool
umer fire as he was on the drill
grounds. He feared nothing and
hi.-coolness made him an invalu-
abi aide and leader. He press-
ed my hand firmly as they were
abut to carry him away in the
growing darkness and said he
hewed that he would soon be able
to-eturn to the company. The
eiimy soon began to throw gas
shlls on our position and a lew
ofas slept that night. Sergeant
Mrrem bore up under the pain
ofhis wounds like the real man
tfcit he was and I know he met
hi death with the same cool
enrage with which he faced the
eemy. No better soldier or
chief man .has paid the supremo
sbrifice in the awful war. I

ame one who was with him at

ames and addresses. My heart

COMPLAINT FROM POST OFFICE.

A great deal of complaint is be-
ing made by the officials of the

the noise and disturbance creat-
ed in the lobby of the post office,
by a crowd of the young people
who gather there during the ar-
rival and distribution of the
mails, and the government has
requested that an officer be
placed there to keep^order.
