Relatives and friends here of Mr. Homer Wainwright were greatly shocked
when advised by wire of his death Thursday. He was in his 26th year, a
native of Crawford County and the first young man from that county to enlist in
the army service since the beginning of the present war. For several
months he has been located with his regiment at Camp Chickamauga, at which place
he died following an acute attack of brights disease. The remains were
brought back to Crawford County for interment. Miss Lilly Maude Anderson,
who is a teacher in our school, and a relative of the deceased attended the
funeral near Knoxville Sunday.
