GLEASON.

  The remains of Private Charles H. Gleason, who died on Oct. 9 of 
pneumonia, following an attack of influenza at Camp Sherman,
Chillicothe, O., arrived at the home of his wife, Mrs. Margaret W.
Gleason in Bellwood yesterday morning.  Private Gleason, who entered
the army some months ago, was assigned as a cook in the Eighteenth
company and some weeks ago, while engaged in his work, he scratched
his left arm on a nail, blood poisoning later setting in.  The arm was
amputated recently and while the soldier was recuperating he
contracted pneumonia.  The funeral will be held from the home of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Wills, Bellwood, at 2.30 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Surviving are the wife, the mother, Mrs. Sarah Gleason of Gallion, O.,
two brothers, Fred and Frank of Gallion, O., and two sisters, May of
Akron, O., and Sarah of Gallion, O.
