August 4, 1921.--"MILITARY HONORS FOR SOLDIER HERO".--After quite a little delay, the body of Lawrence Jobe, member of Company E, 168th Infantry of the 42nd Rainbow division, arrived here yesterday evening from Hoboken, New Jersey, where it had been shipped from a divisional cemetery in France. The body of this soldier hero wil be given burial with full military honors at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, August 7. The services will be held from the court house park, the funeral oration to be delivered by Rev. R.R. Moser, pastor of the Methodist church. Services at the grave will be in charge of Company E of Shenandoah who will bring a firing squad, color guard and buglers. Other arrangements are being taken care of by ex-service men here. A large delegation of ex-service men from other towns are expected to be present and the local committee asks that every ex-service man who possibly can, appear in uniform to act as honorary escort. Let us all turn out to pay our last respects to a soldier who died for us.
