Private George F. Freese of Co. 21 S. r. D. was born near Amber, Iowa, on April 22, 1894. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tobe Freese. He went to Camp Gordon with the large contingent of 189 Jones County men in July, 1918. He sailed from an American port for overseas in September and landed in England. The influenza epidemic was then raging throughout the war ridden countries and he was a victim. Private Freese died of pneumonia at the military hospital at Hursley Park about four miles from Winchester, England, and was buried there. He is survived by his parents and a large family of brothers and sisters and was a popular young man in this community. | ||||
