Private William Worster Walters was one of the five Jones County boys to pass away at Camp Dodge during one week, his death occurring on Saturday, Oct. 12. He was the second of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Walters of Cass Township. His father and uncle, Mr. Worster were with the boy at Camp Dodge during his illness. They highly praised the officials at the Camp Hospital for the solicitude shown the sick soldier boys and they expressed admiration for the brave women nurses who worked until exhausted to save the lives of our boys, many nurses working twelve and fifteen hours per day and never losing their cheerfulness. The terrible plague overtaxed the hospital force but they never faltered. William was one of the best young men of Jones County and was a favorite with all. The funeral was held from the family home in Cass and burial was in Riverside Cemetery in Anamosa. | ||||
