       Killed October 19, 1918 at Argonne.  Son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Toson, Winterset, Iowa. Corporal Toson was killed instantly by a piece of shrapnel while in charge of a salvaging detail after his battalion had been relieved and were holding the second lines of
resistance.  He was a Liaison Runner and carried messages through heavy artillery and machine gun fire.  His daring work was instrumental in aiding the determined and unfaltering advances of his company, and his coolness and courage inspired and buoyed up the spirit of many a comrade as he went over the top.
