Frank Prelvitz received a telegram last Wednesday bearing the sad message that his brother, William had died of wounds, in France, September 29^th.

William W. Prelvitz entered the army on June 25^th last, from Mantidor, N.D., and was sent to Camp Dodge to train with the 352^nd Infantry of the famous 88^th Division and had been in France only about five weeks before his death. He was a native of Hector township and grew to manhood in this vicinity. He was a resident of this village for several years and has many friends here who shall ever remember him as a worthy young man who has made his supreme sacrifice for his country. He was about 30 years of age and leaves a wife at Wilmot, N.D. Besides his brother Frank at this place, he is also survived by another brother, Joe, from Hector, and three sisters, Elizabeth of Jamestown, N.D., Mrs. Geo. Riebe, of Minot, N.D. and Mrs. Jess Carney of Bird Island. Condolences are extended to the bereaved relatives.
