THREE GOLD STARS IN SERVICE FLAG

Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Hoxie, of Phoenix, parents of H. C. Hoxie of Ashland, have
done their best-not their bit-for their country during the past great war,
says the Ashland Tidings. About two weeks ago news came to them of the death
of their son, Private Leroy Hoxie, who was born at William and who died with
pneumonia in a French hospital. This sad tidings followed shortly after the
news had reached them that two other sons, Ralph and Will had given their
lives for their country on November 11, the day of the signing of the
armistice. These two young men with another brother, Frank, were members of
the 21st infantry. Four sons given to the service of their country and three
of them paying the supreme sacrifice of their lives is a record to which all
honor is given.
