Albert Francis Moran of Onslow enlisted in the U. S. Navy on May 15, 1918, at the age of 22 years and ten months. His death was caused by injuries suffered when a steam launch blew up from internal explosion on Oct. 3, severely scalding him. Albert was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Moran of Clay township, Jones County, Iowa. The remains were brought back to the old home and burial was in the Cemetery at Temple Hill. Albert will be missed from the community where his entire life up to the date of enlistment had been spent. He was popular among all classes and was admired for his honorable, manly character.
(Note: Mr. Moran is named "Alfred" in the headline and "Albert" in the body. He is listd as "Albert" in the 1900 U.S. Census.) |
