Father Alexander, assisted by Father Weise of Paplin, and Father Laraczynski, of Farwell, had charge of the beautiful and impressive burial service of the Catholic church. It was a military funeral, the American Legion conducting the same and Legion members noting as pallbearers. Interment was made at the Catholic cemetery, the church service and the Legion ritual being use, the firing squad firing a volley over the grave of the fallen hero. The funeral was very largely attended, many coming from all over the country. The American Legion attended in full force and the uniformed men made a pretty sight at the head of the funeral procession. Martin A. Roy was born in Platte county February 19, 1896. He was a volunteer in the world war, joining the colors May 4, 1917, less than a month after our country had declared war against the Central Powers. He was killed in action in France on the 4th day of October, 1918, and was a member of battery 315. The body was shipped from France several months ago and arrived in Loup City Friday evening in charge of Private L. Friklic, of the 14th Cavalry, Des Moines, Iowa. --Courtesy of The Ashton Herald-- Contributor: Diane (47528261) ------------------------------------------------------------ "Somewhere in France, Oct. 21 1918 Mrs. Chas. Werner, Loup City, Neb. My Dear Sister: ...Have you heard about Martin Roy. He was killed the 4th of October. It was sure hard for me to see him get killed. I was about two feet from him when he was hit. He didn't live a minute. I buried him and fixed his grave up nice." Tony Pokorski Batt. 15 F. A. American E.
