Corporal Harvey Adolph
Killed in Action September 17
News has reached Burlimgame of the death of one of her soldiers on a French battlefield. Mrs. George Adolph received a telegram last Friday, stating that her son Harvey Adolph had been killed in action in France, on September 17.
Harvey was a member of Co. E, of the 353rd All-Kansas regiment, 89th Division, trained at Camp Funston. He was called to the colors on April 18, 1918,and left for duty on the western front shortly afterward. It is believed that his death occurred during the drive which began September 12 against the St. Mihiel salient. General March has but lately announced that the 89th Division was active in successfully wiping out that portion of the enemy's line.
Harvey was born in Burlingame April 4, 1896, thus aged 22 years and five months. His father, for many years a section foreman at this place, died a number of years ago. There are left to mourn his death: His mother; five sisters, Mrs. Phoebe Younker of Eskridge, Mrs. Mary Coon of Burlingame, Mrs. Nora Halstrom of Michigan Valley, Mrs. Lottie McKnight of Eskridge, Mrs. Clara Butterfield of Quenemo, also four brothers, George of Burlingame, and Joe, Will and Clarence of Hominy, Oklahoma.
The municipal flag hung at half mast in the city square on Saturday, in honor of another of our boys who made the supreme sacrifice in a foreign land.

The funeral of Dale Hanna which was held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Hanna, in this city Sunday afternoon at four O'clock, was one of the largest ever held in Burlingame. To many it recalled a similar occasion on the same spot, when occurred the funeral of Jervis Drew, youngest son of W.Y. Drew, whose body was brought home from the Philippine Islands at the close of the Spanish American War. Both boys succumbed to disease in military hospitals, but both as truly gave their lives in their country's service as those who died on the battlefields.
Dale Bryant Hanna was born in this city July 22, 1896 and grew to young manhood universally esteemed and respected by all that knew him. He became a member of the Methodist church in 1910. For the past year or more he had been a solicitor for an old line insurance company. His marriage to Miss Julia Middleton of this city occurred July 26, last past. A month later or August 26, he was inducted into military service at Fort Riley and was assigned to the medical corps. He was transferred to Camp Cody, Deming, N. Mex, in another month and left for the West September 25th. He was taken ill with influenza about 10 days prior to his death. Pneumonia and scarlet fever later developed and death occurred about 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 6th. His family had been appraised of his condition on the Saturday previous and his parents and wife left at once for Camp Cody, arriving there on Monday noon. His delight at seeing folks from home was unmeasured and they remained at his bedside until the end came. The family arrived home with his body on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock.
The deceased is survived by his wife, his parents, and three sisters, Mrs. Mary Garringer and Misses Julia and Florence Hanna.
Funeral services were held at the family home Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. W. J. Marshall. Music was furnished by a choir composed of Mrs. Effie Miner, Mrs. Clara Elledge, John Gilkeson and Ruie Brackney. Marshall Randal also rendered a solo in a most effective manner. The services were deeply impressive and floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful.
