Read More	Killed in Action World War I Constantine was killed in action, during the Battle of Château-Thierry, which was fought on July 18, 1918 and was one of the first actions of the American Expeditionary Forces under General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. aged 29 years, 10 months, and 10 days *** * * *** Following are articles regarding his death Constantine Pedranti is the son of a prominent Olema family and is one of several children. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Angelo Pedranti, are in receipt of a splendid letter from the boy's regimental chaplain in France, announcing the sad event. He was the brother of Albert Pedranti, now at Camp Lewis; Ben Pedranti of Inverness, Romeo Pedranti, Nicasio, and Egidio Pedranti of Olema. His sisters are Erma, of Olema, Sophie, of Nicasio, Mrs. O.J. Muscio, of Oakdale, and Mrs. E.F. Cassarotti, of Nicasio. The letter follows; July 30, 1818 Mr. Angelo Pedranti, Olema, California Dear Mr. Pedranti; One of the painful duties of the army chaplain is to help care for the heroic dead. And yet it is a rare privilege, however painful it may be. Heroes live even though absent from us, cowards die and are forgotten War calls for human lives. It is necessarily so. In this war we must give to the limit. I read in the faces of these French people who have lost so heavily, something not written in books. In cannot be written. Patiently, silently heroically they suffer and struggle on. We Americans will also show our true American spirit in this war. Our battle, the first for this regiment, was wonderfully carried out. Nothing could stop our gallant troops. Advancing into a terrific fire - a baptism of fire the French Commander calls it when he cites them for conspicuous bravey - they drove the enemy before them. Your son, Constantine Pedranti, was numbered with the gallant dead. He died fighting for thoe principles that we Americans love so well. He is honored by his officers, his comrades, yes, by all freedom loving peoples. I hope you will think of him as living in the hearts of those who knew him. As Chaplain of this gallant regiment I extend to you my sympathy not as a matter of form but really from my heart. May God help you to bear your loss with patience. Always remember that he died bravely and that he helped to make the world a safe place for all humanity. Very sincerely yours, James R. Shanks, Chaplain 1st 30th Infantry A.E.F. via New York Published Marin Journal August 29, 1918 Boy's Heroism In Court Records Tribute to the heroism of Constantine Pedranti and recognition of the loss of a brave son by a loving mother became an indelible record of the Superior Court last Friday when proof of the soldier boy's death was offered to support Mrs. Angela Pedranti's petition for letters on her son's estate. Constantine Pedranti left his home in Olema to battle against the scourge of Europe. He died facing the enemy at Chateau Thierry. It was necessary in the court procedure for the attorney, Senator E. B. Martinelli, to offer positive proof of the boy's death. When the hearing was called the following document was read into and became a part of the court record, and it will remain there to the end of time: Army of the United States To all who shall see these presents, Greeting: This is to certify that Constantine Pedranti, Private, Company K, 39th Infantry, died with honor in the service of his country on the 19th day of July, 1918. Given at Washington, D.C., office of the Adjutant General of the Army, this 23rd day of October, 1918. Cyrus C. Nuskoski, Adjutant General Published Marin Journal May 8, 1919
