Gets Picture of Her Son in Paris Then Argonne Death
Mrs Gust Isaacson receives post card photographs of her son Albert Isaacson made in Paris before he joined his company in the Argonne and fatally wounded. The cards were found by Mrs Bland in Kansas City and earlier mailed to New York, then returned. Albert was wounded September 28, 1918, and died of his wounds. The story blends wartime tragedy with local society notes and school items from Scandia.
