Private Leo P. Koster, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Koster of Cascade, Jones County, Iowa, went into service with the Selective Army on Sept. 15, 1918. Leo was born at Cascade, Iowa, on May 2, 1897, and was just past 21 years of age when he was called to service. He went with the other Jones County boys to Camp Dodge and became a member of Co. 50, 163rd Depot Brigade. At that time the influenza was sweeping the whole world and soon appeared at Camp Dodge. Leo was a victim of the epidemic and gave his young life on October 10, 1918, at Camp Dodge Hospital from the effects of Influenza and Pneumonia. Burial was at his former home in Cascade, Iowa. | ||||
