JAMES R, KALINA MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE ON FIELDS OF FRANCE Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kalina, of Irving, parents of Mr. Antone Kalina, received word Sunday from Washington that their son, James R. Kalina had been killed in action on the fields of France. The date of his death or the action in which he lost his life, were not revealed in the message. The news came as a severe blow to this worthy couple. They had willingly given their son to their country and the son had gone forth proudly in defense of his country; he has made the supreme sacrifice and there is a vacant chair at the home fireside. James R. Kalina was 26 years of age and his entire life was spent in the vicinity of Irving until he entered the service of his country last April. Knowing that he would be called to the colors soon, the young patriot had closed out his farming operations some weeks before and was ready for the call when it came. He was first sent to Camp Cody for preliminary training. On May 20th he was transferred to San Antonio, Texas. About two months after he entered the service, he was on his way overseas as member of Co. I, 359th Infantry. His regiment has been on the front line for some time, and from letters to his brother, Antone, it Is known that he had been over the top on at least three occasions previous to the one in which he was fatally wounded. James R. Kalina was one of those sons of whom any parents would be proud. Upright and Industrious, and kindly and thoughtful in disposition, he endeared himself to his family and his friends. Reared on a farm, he had learned to love the soil and it to have been his life work, to have tilled it. He had for several years operated a farm on his own account and by industry, perseverance and a good knowledge of his business he had prospered. Claiming no exemption on account of his occupation, when the time approached for him to be called to the colors, he closed out his business and was ready and willing. Besides his parents, he is survived by five sisters, Mrs. James Formanek, Mrs. Louis Nowotny, Mrs. Frank Kratosky and the Misses Stella and Rosa Kalina, and six brothers. John, Antone, Frank, Joseph, Charles and Fred. The Belle Plaine Union Thursday, December 5th, 1918 Contributor: George
