Corporal Origgt W«i Son of Mrs. Jennie and the Late Ephrsim Qrigge —Had Been in the Regular Army For Seven Year#—In France 8inoe April, 1918. Another Marshall county noUller, this time an Albion boy, fell in tha fighting In France in the last weeks of the war. Corp. Kloyd Griggs, Com pany D, lS9th infantry, died in action Oct. 1, according to a message from the war department to his sinter, Miss Mario Griggs, a clerk omployed by tho Central Foundry Company. Cor poral Griggs was the son of Mrs. Jen nie Griggs, of Albion, the housekeeper for A. S. Beary. living west of the to#n, and the widow of Bphralm Griggs, for many years a resident of the Albion and Liscomb neighbor hoods. Corporal Griggs, who would havo been 27 years of age, had he lived tll today, had been In the regular army for seven years. He enlisted at Van couver, Wash., in 1912 and re-entered the service at Camp Dodge in March, 1918. He went overseas the following month. Corpofol Griggs was born near Lais comb, Jan. 9, 1832. The family lived near Liscomb for some time, but' In more recent years, and for a much longer' time, lived at Albion, where the |ather died two years ago. In ad dition to the mother and sister two half brothers, Bert B. Griggs, of Al bion, and John L. Griggs, of Parker, S. D.. and a half sister, survive him. The latter is Mrs. Effie Hilsabeck, of Liscomb. WANTED FOR WIFE DESERTION. Oeserter Held on Forgery Charge Now Wanted by Ann Arbor Officers. Walter Ingleman. alias Earl Miller, deserter from the United States army held in the county jail on a charge of forgery,- ts wanted In ashtenaw county, Michigan, on a charge of wife desertion, according to a message re ceived this morning by Chief of Police C. F. Breckel from the Michigan coun ty sheriff. The message was sent as a request for the release of the prisoner to the Ann Arbor ofifcial. but it is ccrtain of receiving a negative reply. Ingleman, or Miller, is said to nave received money from friends in Michi gan yesterday and today, and it is ex pected that efTort will be made to set tle with merchants holding "'Miller'a spurious check* Settlement of the forgery charge, however. Is not likely to result in Ingleman securing his freedom, as ho Is held by Deputy Sheriff Starn as an army deserter. As yet the army offi cials have made no move to claim the prisoner, working on the theory, no doubt, that he will be taken care of on the forgery charge, and that the army men can secure the prisoner at any time should the forgery charges be dropped. If the Michigan authorities have a case against the young man they prob ably will be obliged to await the out come of the forgery and desertion °hThe name Ingleman is the way the telegram refers to the prisoner. The name, however, as used in communica tions to local officials from Camp Custer, is Engleman. WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING. Annual Social Meeting Enjoyed by 175 Members and Guests.
