A letter from his mother at Council Bluffs conveys the sad news to Adolphe GEISE of this city of the killing of his son in action in France on September 15th. Corporal Earnest GEISE, the only son of Adolphe Geise, of this city, was about 23 years of age, and was a member of the Iowa National Guards, serving on the Mexican border, and upon his return from there, he was soon afterward called into federal service with the rest of his company and was among the first leaving here for France in the early part of the summer of 1917. Earnest was a member of Co. H [looks like] 168 Infantry, and was attached to the 42nd Division, know as the Rainbow Division by reason of its being among the first over. While Corporal Geise was killed in action on September 15th, no definite information was received of his death until Wednesday morning, by his grandparents at [Council Bluffs? Blurred], from which place as enlisted when he last entered the service. Earnest was a son of Adolph Geise of Plattsmouth, by a former marriage. Mr. Geise and wife have the sympathy of the citizens of Plattsmouth in their loss. The young man has paid in full his devotion to country and the principles of Liberty. At the time of his return from the Mexican border he insisted on going with the first to France, and carried out his desire in that respect. He went through all the privations and heavy fighting from the time he set his foot on foreign soil until that of his death on September 15th, and in all that time never failed to demonstrate the fact that he was a valiant soldier, who cared equally for the freedom of the world and winning the war as he did about his own personal safety. Earnest had last written to his parents in August at which time he told them of the prospect of early termination of the fighting. Earnest, who always made his home with his grandparents, had visited this city a number of times since his parents resided here and was very well known to everyone.

M.A. BATES received a letter from his friend, Thomas WALLING, Jr., that was written in France and told of some experiences which he had been having there, and of how near he thought the fighting to be over. How true he surmised the situation is best shown in the fact that his letter was written on November 6th, only a few days before the actual signing of the armistice that brought about peace. Thomas stated that he had gone out for a walk, and in passing thru a wood, he came upon a place where someone had recently camped and there he noticed a copy of the Plattsmouth Journal. How he pounced upon that paper and read every word of it is described in his letter. He also makes mention of the terrible time he is having in trying to talk with the French people. Thomas likes the country and speaks of it as being very beautiful, but entirely different from America.

ALABAMA GEORGE LAMPHERE [sic] WRITES INTERESTING LETTER TO HIS MOTHER HERE. HAD FINE TARGET PRACTICE Five Gun Turrets on Board – Says Very Warm in Cuba – Pens Best Regards to All. Mrs. George Lamphere, Sr., is in receipt of a letter from her son, George, who is a member of the U.S.N. and has just lately made a trip from New York to Cuba. The letter follows: U.S.S. Alabama, March 5 Dearest Mother and All: Just a few lines to let you know I am still alive. But its damned hot. The water here is 86 degrees and the heat in the sun from 110 to 115 degrees. Talk about the sunny south; these South seas are “L.” Well, we’ve been out with the New York and Texas to fire. We towed targets for them. It was great sport and I am sending you a printed detail of our trip to Quantanano [sic] Bay from the Roads. We left Quantanano Bay Saturday night at 7:30 enroute for the south coast of Cuba. We were until 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon reaching where the fleet was anchored. But the firing was fine. The ships had five gun turrets, three aft and two forward and all five went on Salvo. We could see them flying through the air and strike the target, which was five hundred yards astern of us. Some of them would fall a bit short of the mark and hit the water, glancing into space again. The projectile could thus be followed until it sloped and the ships of the fleet certainly can shoot. The New York fired Monday and the Texas Tuesday. Monday when we anchored we lost our anchor and Tuesday we looked for it. The water is so clear than one can see bottom at 12 fathoms. But the anchor could not be found. A diver went down where some of the officers though they saw it, but it wasn’t located and it was too rough this morning to dive or even for an open boat to venture out, so we are left with but one anchor and suppose some time will be sent to find it. We leave for Hampton Roads on Monday. There are nothing there but Spicks, “Natives.” Well, we are having movies tonight, so will close, with love for all. Write soon. From, you son.

City, go north on US 73-75 about 5.5 miles to an intersection of CR E, turn west go 1/2 mile, turn north on first road go about 1/3 mile. The town site is east of the road but nearer the railroad track or right-of-way. From its location, it could have been a train depot. I have never been there, just working from a map. It would be about 19 miles south of Plattsmouth, NE
