NAME OF GEORGE VETTER IN TODAY'S CASUALTY LISTS
Today's morning papers report the unkind information that Private George Vetter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Will H. Vetter, residing east of the city, has been killed in action.
A few days ago the parents were informed by the war department that their son was missing in action since October 6.
Mr. Vetter entered military service last May and went overseas from Camp Custer with the 85th division.
Yesterday the distracted parents were made hopeful when a Benton Harbor soldier, who has just returned from France, sent them word he visited George in a hospital a few eeks ago. A letter was immediately sent to Washington asking for details.
Private Vetter was 24 years of age. Another brother is now with our forces “somewhere over there.”
