M, McGuire Dies at Joplin, Missouri Surgical Operation prior to entorinw Military Service Resulte Fatally. Thursday of last week a telegram was reeeived by A. and Mrs. McGuire from Joplin, Missouri, U. S„ inform- ing them of the unexpected decease of their eldest son, Robert Milton. He was a splendid young man and wide- spread sympathy is expressed for the bereaved, The Joplin Globe of July 5th gives the following particulars that will be of interest to many old friends here of deeeased :—"A determination to serve his country as a soldier, cost Robert McGuire, widely known photograph- er, Rotarian and Mason his life. He died in St. John's hospital at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, a week after he had undergone a minor operation, necessary to make possible his accept- ance into the Canadian army. McGuire was 34 years old, He was born at Brussels, Ontario, and was in the Canadian draft. which extends to men 85 years old. McGuire was mar- ried and could have claimed exemp- tion, but he had determined to enlist and had settled up hie businees affairs, placing an old friend in charge of his studio and going to the hospital to be made tit for military service. Al- though the operation was a minor one, certain complications developed that caused his Beath. Sincerely patriotic expressions from his mother in Brussels figured in Mc- Guire's decision to enlist as a private, although he previously had planned to select a branch of the service to which he felt most fitted to serve his country. Some time ago he wrote to his mother explaining that he was contemplating enlisting and was then trying to decide in what branch to enlist, Mrs. McGuire already bad given one eon to the service, Sergeant Norman McGuire, who has been in the fighting since the early days of the war. But loyal to her country she felt that the other son, too, should go, if he felt so inclined and could arrange his busi- ness affairs. McGuire arranged for the surgical treatment. I•Ie did not tell his wife of his plans until she had gone for a visit with relatives in Sedan, Kam, which information was contained in a letter sent her just before he went to the hospital, Although several Emends knew of McGuire's plans to � join the army and of the needed opera- tion, he slipped away to the hospital with very few aware of his going, 1'he operation was performed and ble- Guires recovery WAS expected. Early Tuesday night McGuire called for the Rev. W. M, Oleaveland, pastor of the First Presbyterian nhurch. Me, 0leaveland hurried to the hospital and learned that the patient's condi- tion was twines, Messages had been ren t to Mrs. McGuire at Sedan, dut•- ng the day, but through some error in address she did not learn of his con- dition until so late that she arrived in Joplin at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, three hones after he died, McGuire came to Joplin a few years ago and pnrehased the studio at No. 812 Main street, He had been meet - ed only a short time previously to Miss Della Bryan, of Sedan. He was exceptionally proficient in his twerps - :ion and he became prominent in business circles, When Rotary Club was organized a few years ego he be- came the member representing his profession and always has been active to various wort in which the Rotate inof the most papular members or the ns have participated, lie was one organization. He also wee a Mason and belonged to the Presbyterian e mrell, attending the First eburoh here but retaining membership in a chtmolh in another oily, The surviving relatives are his wife, his parents, A, and Mrs, McGuire of 13russele, n, brother, Sergeant Mc- Guire, in France, a sister, bfrs.

Things look serious enough at tittles but I dou't think there is much danger of the Beebe getting much farther. Isis hammet-like blows seem to be losing force, although he is not spar- ing his men. This week I have had 2 parcels from home, one from mother and the other from the Red Cross Society, also mother's letter of May 12th. .Evidently mother is not in the best of health but hope her head has ceased to bother her. A strange malady is prevalent through Europe, sort of an influenza. The sufferers have a high temperature, ,headache and soreness. 1 haven't been uufor- tunate epough to be a victim and hope it don't come my way, I wish all the Huns would catch it and it would hang to them like a lost brother for about umpteen months. Don't worry about me. If 1 never worked harder than I'm doing now 1 won't grumble. Since Job's comfort- ers have forgotten to worry me I have nothing to grumble over. Glad mother had a pleasant visit at Milver- ton. So Milt. Ss going to try his hand at war. He would hardly do as an in- fantry man but will be able to do his bit at his own work. Aerial photo- graphy is now quite an important branch of the service. The planes fly over the Bocbe lines and take pictures of trenches, ammunition dumps, etc. The guns are all camofluaged so its pretty hard to locate them with a camera, You might be within a flew rods of a bunch of big fellows and never know they wet there, so clever- ly are they concealed. I suppose the big brother will sign up in Yankee - land but it makes little difference, we are all out to finish up the same job. Had a nice big rake from Aunt Sarah !Mrs. S. Jackson, Moose Jaw,) to -day. It Inas been on the way over 2 months but is as sweet and moist as if it were baked a week ago, 1 sup- pose everything is going, so high °ver home itwill be finite an item to pack a parcel.
