Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 1, 1918 DIES AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA >From Monday’s Daily. Last evening a message came telling of the death of August HESSE, who has been sick at that place for some time and before at Greenville, S.C. with leakage of the heart superinduced by severe rheumatism. August HESSE, one of the fine young men of this city, went to Kelly Field, the aviation training school, leaving here Jan. 22nd, and after having been there was sent to Greenville, S.C., he was taken sick on Feb. 5th, just four days after he was 23 years of age. He continued to grow worse and while having the care which it was possible to afford at the hospital did not show any recovery. His relatives went to him and when he was not so ill as formerly, returned and a short time since went again to Atlanta, Ga., where he had been removed to. August has been sick practically since his enlistment. The message telling of his death, said that he had passed away at the hospital during yesterday morning. The remains will be shipped to this place for burial. As yet, no arrangements have been made for the funeral or burial, but will be upon the arrival when a notice of them will be published in this paper.
