CORPORAL HAROLD STEADMAN killed in France.
Mrs. Charles Steadman, of Brunswick, received word from
the War Department yesterday announcing the death of her son,
Corporal Harold Steadman in France. He was killed in action October
14. His father, who is a brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, was on duty when the telegram came.
Young Steadman was 18 years old and a member of Company A. He
enlisted shortly after the war broke out when but seventeen years
old, and went with the local company to Anniston, Ala. He sailed for
France about a year ago and for some weeks had been in the thick of
the fight.
He was well-known in this city and Brunswick and was highly regarded
by a wide circle of friends. Before entering the service he was
employed by the railroad as a machinist. He possessed exemplary
habits and, although very anxious to join the service, did not
enlist until he obtained the consent of his parents. A memorial will
be held in St. Francis Catholic church, Brunswick, Monday morning a
8 o'clock. |
