DEWEY HIGH LEA" FINALLY
REPORTED AS KILLED
Several times this paper has men
tioned the disappearance of Dewey
Hfghley, the soldier boy, and anxiety
as to his fate. The war department
notified his father J. F. Highley, this
week that his son had undoubtedly
been killed in action, at one of the
battles in the Argonne forest, in
France. Dewey was a brave soldier,
and a fine young man. He enlisted
with the hoys in Co. H. and was sent
to France early in the war.
This announcement adds another to
the roll of honor of Meridian boys
who gave their lives for their
country.
