KELGSTAD, Severt ----- A telegram was received at this place Wednesday morning announcing the death of Private Severt A. Klegstad, October 26th, in France, from wounds received in action on the firing line.  The message is from the War Department at Washington. The Warren Sheaf Wednesday November 27, 1918

Severt was wounded in battle about four weeks ago, and Information was conveyed to the parents at that time that their son was on the road to recovery and also a letter from the son was received last week saying he would soon be able to leave the hospital and probably return home; thus with hope buoyed up that they would soon see their son, they were looking forward to the day of his return. Evidently there was a relapse in his case as his death came unexpected.

As to the nature of his wounds nothing definite has been learned, but an inkling that he had lost an arm in battle.

This intelligence is a severe blow to the bereaved parents as Severt is their only son and while he has made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of democracy and the freedom of the world there is a pang of sorrow, a vacancy that no human effort can replace.  Honor to the memory of Private Severt A. Klegstad for his heroic sacrfice.—The Oslo Tribune. The Warren Sheaf Wednesday November 27, 1918
