Cottage Grove sentinel., April 05, 1918
Cottage Grove has its first golden star for its service flag. Although a number from here are already on French soil, the first to make the supreme sacrifice in the service of country was Jessie R. McDole, sergeant in the 348t field artillery, stationed at Camp Lewis, who died Friday, March 8, death following a severe siege of pneumonia and an operation.
The funeral services held Tuesday afternoon were befitting so memorable an event and beautiful lily floral pieces sent by his former comrades in arms banked the altar of the Christian church. There were many other floral tributes. The city gave an hour of its time in memory of the man who had given his life and the church building filled to overflowing. The schools were closed. The Honor Guard Girls and the Boy Scouts attended in a body. The music was beautiful and peculiarly appropriate. Miss Hazel Loueks played the Miserere from Il Trovatore, as the casket, draped in the national color, was brought late into the church. A quartet, composed of A.A. Richmond, Mrs. B.K. Lawson, Mrs. H.K. Metcalf, and S.L. Markin sang “Son of My Soul” and Mrs. B.K. Lawson sang “Requiem” by Sidney Homer. After the sermon, the quartet sang “The Angels are Calling the Roll,”: a military number. The sermon was by Rev. Wallace Callison, pastor of the Christian church. Interment was made in the Hawley Cemetery at Divide beside the grace of the mother. The W.O.W. had charge of the services at the grave.
Jessie R. McDole was born in Douglas county and would have been 24 years of age had he lived until the 19th of this month. He is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. McDole. The father survives, also the following brother and sisters: Mrs. J.W. Veatch of this city; Mrs. W.W. Wilson of Yoncalla; Oscar and Bert, of Porterville, Cal; and Harry, of this city. All were here for the funeral. The father and sisters were with their son and brother during the last day of his illness and are fight in the praise of the attention give the soldier by the military medical authorities.
Joe Smith, of this city, was selected as the military escort for the body and he remained here until after the funeral. Mr. McDole entered the service from Montana.
