FORMER RESIDENT IS INJURED

News of the serious injury of Clifford H. Ogle of White county, now fighting with the American forces in France, reached this city last Saturday. Mr. Ogle is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Ogle, residing four and one-half miles north of Idaville, in Jackson township. They were notified by telegram which read: "Private Clifford H. Ogle, severely wounded in action April 30.” The telegram came from the war department at Washington. Mr. Ogle was a member of the 16th Infantry, Company G. He enlisted at Fort Thomas, Kentucky, April 24, 1917, and landed in France June 26th. He is perhaps the first White county boy to land on French soil as a ■member of the American army. Since reaching France he has written home regularly and his letters have always been full of cheerful news to his parents and relatives. A few weeks ago the Herald published a letter from him. The last word received from him by his folks here was written March 28. The Ogle famHy consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Ogle, five sons and two daughters, moved to White county from Jasper county about one year ago and in this county the young man made his home until he left to enlist in the army.'No additional information concerning young Ogle’s condition or the nature of his injury has been received by the family, who of course are very anxious for more complete information. Mr. Ogle is twenty years of age.Monticello Journal.
