ALVIN T. COXWELL DIES AT CAMP WHEELER

Some of the sad fruitage of the world-wide-war is being gathered in the homes of some of Taylor County's best citizens, as was evidenced the death and burial of Alvin T. Coxwell, age 22, 112th Ambulance Corps, 106th Supply Train, Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga.

Mr. Coxwell enlisted from Dublin where with his father, Mr. W.W. Coxwell, he had been living for the past few years.

Mr. Coxwell was born and reared in and near Reynolds, and his life was such as to gain and maintain the respect, confidence and best wishes of a large number of friends. His family connection is large and among the most influential citizens of the county. No young man in and around Reynolds was held in higher esteem than Alvin Coxwell.

Mr. Coxwell died of pneumonia following an attack of measles and was ill but a few days. His remains were brought to Butler Monday afternoon and interred in the Bethel cemetery, the funeral service conducted by Rev. J. T. Adams, witnessed by a large concourse of relatives and friends.

Besides his father, he leaves a large number of loving relatives to mourn their loss. So another life has been placed upon our Country's altar as a sacrifice in defense of human liberty.
