Oil City Derrick, Friday, Feb 1 1918:
Franklin, Jan 31 -- The body of Harold S. Layton, Franklin's first sacrifice in the great war, arrived this evening from Camp Greene, Charlotte, NC, over the Pennsylvania railroad. It was accompanied by the father, H. E. Layton, who went to Camp Greene a week ago upon receiving word that his son was in a serious condition from pneumonia.
At the train was a delegation from the Home Defense Police, which includes largely men who were formerly in the National Guard, and a committee from the high school of which Layton graduated in the class of 1914. These two delegations formed an escort from the station to the residence at 111 Liberty street.
Services will be held at the late home at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Rev. Dr. Albert Patterson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of which Layton was a member, will officiate. A delegation of the Home Defense Police will be present and form an escort for the body to the Franklin cemetery, where it will be placed in the receiving vault, there to repose until the weather moderates, when it will be interred in the cemetery.
The Rocky Grove band will lead the cortege from the residence to the cemetery.
