Ray S. Seely, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Seely of Anamosa is among the number who suffered wounds in battle in France. He enlisted early in the war and became a member of Co. H. of the 59th Infantry which saw much active service as a part of the Second division. He was in the same Company in which Private Ed. Bakula was serving when the latter was killed. Mr. Seely attained the rank of Sergeant by work in the ranks. He was twice wounded and was invalided before the close of the war, being unable to take part in the final campaign. He has recovered from his wounds and is now happily married. Sergt. proved to be a capable and courageous soldier and well sustains the reputation of Iowa boys gained throughout the war.
