-------------------
News has been received by friends in this city of the death of Ludlow F. North, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George L. North,
An answer to an inquiry at the war department at Washington, says: "Sergeant Ludlow F. North of the United States signal corps was killed at Carramona, Luzon, Philippine Islands, September 2, 1900. No particulars have been received at this office."
Sergeant North, or "Lud", as he was familiarly known to his friends, was born and educated in Green Bay. He acquired a knowledge of telegraphy in the Western Union office under the late W. D. Lewis. His first work as an operator was with the C. & N. W. railroad in the suburbs of Chicago. Later he was with the Great Northern railroad in Montana. He enlisted in Seattle, Wash., in troop E, 4th United States Cavalry, and after serving a little more than a month as a trooper, was transferred to the signal corps at Vancouver Barracks, Wash. From there he was ordered to the department of California, with headquarters in the Phelan building, San Francisco. He was sent to the Pilippines in May 1899, where he has since served, having been three times promoted. In October, 1899, he was sent north on Luzon in command of a detachment of the signal corps, following closely the advance of the army in that section and from that time to January, 1900, was at the front. It was his command that established and kept in operation the telegraphic service from Cabanatuan north of Manila to Silong in the province of Cavite on the south.
Sergeant North, like hundreds of other brave, patriotic men, has passed through his military career with credit to himself. Facing dangers and hardships uncomplainingly, going to the performance of his duty heroicly, he has laid down his life on the altar of his country with honor and glory,
An effort will be made to bring the remains of Sergeant North to this city for burial. His relatives in this city are now corresponding with the officials with this end in view.
