Fred James, a Former Richland County Boy, Dies in That Far-Off Land
A letter received by relatives from the bunk mate of Fred conveyed the sad intelligence. He had had a serious run of fever, from which he had recovered sufficiently to obtain a furlough to come home, but just as he was about to start he took a relapse, from which he died December 11. His remains were buried there.
