Blossburg Boys Arrive Home
Raymond Lawrence Guernsey, who has been overseas for thirteen months
arrived home Tuesday. Mr. Guernsey was captured by the Germans and
held prisoner for eight months, working nearly twenty-four hours a day
and living on very poor and scanty food. He has some very interesting
experiences to relate. Mr. Guernsey has the distinction of being
the only Tioga county man to be held prisoner b the Germans. Machine
Gunner Glen Ellis, of the famous 77th, arrived home Tuesday, after seeing
thirteen months service in France. Mr. Ellis was wounded in the battle
of the Argonne Forest. Fred Bryant arrived home Tuesday after thirteen
months service overseas. Mr. Bryant was severely wounded in the battle
at Chateau Thierry. He was also gassed and was in a hospital for
several months. Sergeant Kimbal Marvin and Frank Roberts arrived
home Wednesday evening. Both men saw some hard fighting in the Argonne
Forest. [undated]

Twenty-five members of the 314th Infantry Regiment gathered last week
for their annual dinner. Hosts were R.A. Conevery and Emory Rockwell,
Esq. Music and talk of WWI vintage filled the air as the “old-timers”
filled their marching stomachs on roast beef at the Penn Wells. From
left, they are: Front row – Stanley Cominski, Art Gridley, Bob Allen, Gilbert
Gremainn, Geroge Hazlett, M. O. Bohart, H. A. MaHaffey, Harry Baker, R.S.

Subj: Thank You For Latest Pages

Dear Joyce,
I started reading your latest additions relating to World War I and
1918 news late last night. I found myself crying aloud while reading
them. Most of us can see dates in a cemetery and think of birth and
death, However, your website makes those deaths personal experiences, especially
when it comes to our relatives and their neighbors. People
on your pages become living individuals to those of us who never had a
chance to meet them during their lifetime.
1918 must have been quite a traumatic time for the tri-county area with
young men being lost on the battlefields of foreign shores and influenza
taking the lives of young and old residents at home.
Again, another job well done by you and your wonderful contributors.
