Chauncey Allen Green was born in Perkins Co., Neb., April 14, 1893. His father, John A. Green, was a resident of Delaware Co., Ia., but when war was declared Chauncey was working on a farm in Castle Grove and registered in Jones County where he had worked for six years. He was called to Camp Dodge, April 26, 1918, thence to Camp Travis and Camp Mills. He landed at Southampton, England, went to France in July and was on duty immediately as a dispatch runner and served bravely until he was instantly killed on the night of Oct. 26th, 1918, by a high explosive shell. The scene of his death was the Argonne-Meuse front near Bantheville. He lies buried near Romanges near the battle front where he was killed. Private Green was a convert and joined the Church at Argand, Castle Grove, while employed there and his body will be returned there for burial. | ||||
