Last Saturday evening Roy LAMPHEAR who has been in the navy for some time, returned home, having been mustered out of the service at Norfolk, Va. Mr. Lamphear has seen a good deal of service as a member of the navy, and was only too anxious to do his best for his country and this he did. Since the close of hostilities he is just as anxious to get out and get to something in civil life which needs being done. In coming home he ran onto Verale at Chicago, and the two brothers came together to their home here. They sure will make the folks at home happy.
