Decatur Soldier Buried Beside Sweetheart In Iowa
     The burial of Walter Emery at Whiting, Iowa, perhaps reveals a bit of romance which came to light only with his death in Camp Cody, New Deming, New Mexico, Jan. 28.
     Walter Emerey (sic) had been engaged in farming near Whiting. Iowa, but last June sold his belongings and enlisted in the 134th U. S. Ambulance corps, Sanitary train 29, 34th division. While in Soux (sic) City, where he enlisted, he was secretary of the camp Y. M. C. A. In September his unit was transferred to Camp Cody, New Mexico, for training, and there, in December, he became ill, suffering a mastoid abscess which caused his death, after an operation had failed to give the hoped-for relief.
     Beside Sweethearts Grave.
     When his death was announced, the family expected that the body would be returned to Illinois for burial in the cemetery, west of Maroa. where his parents and other members of the family were buried. However, he had requested his brother, who was with him, that his body be taken to Whiting for burial. Then it was recalled that two years ago the young woman to whom he was betrothed had died in Whiting and was buried there. The soldier did not express a wish to be buried in any certain part of the cemtery (sic), but he did say that he wanted his body buried in the Whiting cemetery, and there was no hesitation in doing just as he had requested should be done, the funeral being Feb. 3. His age was 32 years. (photo) WALTER EMERY.12
