The Greenfield (IN) Republican,Thursday, Dec. 5, 1918
Walter Barclay Luse, the eldest child of Adelbert and Nellie Binford Luce, was, born near Westland March 6, 1902, and gave up this life November. 25, 1918, having lived 16 years, 8 months and 16 days.
He attended school at Westland, Charlottesville and Greenfield, finishing the common school in May, 1917.
Walter was an obedient boy, always mindful of his parents' advice. He was quiet and reserved, his best companions being books, historical books being his favorites, and in order that he might take part in the affairs of the world he was anxiously awaiting the time when he could enlist in the navy.
November 12th Walter went to Pittsburg to accept a position as a brakeman on the Pennsylvania Railway. In this capacity he was highly spoken of by the officials and by those with whom he came in contact, although he had been there but :a short time.
It was while serving as a brakeman that he met his death near Rosslyn, Pa.
He was an active member of the Boy Scouts and was held in high esteem by all its members. While in Indianapolis he joined the Y. M. C. A. and took an active interest in its work.
Besides his father and mother, two sisters, Mary and Caroline, two brothers, Arthur and Charles, survive; also his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Binford and Mrs. Elmina Luce and two very dear boy friends, Harold Grey and Russell Haney, besides a host of other friends and relatives.
Mourn not this boy who calmly lies
By God's own hand composed to rest,
But hark, a voice from yonder skies.
Proclaims him blest, supremely blest.
Mourn not this boy, though like the flower
Just opening to the morning ray,
We'd keep him here were it in our power
But God saw best to take him away.
With him the toil and strife are o'er,
His labors end, his sorrows cease,
For he has gained the blissful shore,
Where dwells serene eternal peace.
