Edward D. Wells

First Lieutenant

    
        Killed September 12th at St. Mihiel. Buried in grave No. 2, Map of Pannes. Son of Mrs. Odessa Wells, Wichita, Kansas. Hardly had the artillery preparations ceased and the advance begun in the great St. Mihiel fight, when this gallant officer met his death, a fragment of high explosive pierced his abdomen. Little time did he have to suffer but he utilized that time to encourage his men. All who knew him were impressed with his noble character, intellectual ability and his moral worth.
