JAMES W. AMSPACHER DIED IN FRANCE C.W. Amspacher received a telephone message early Wednesday morning from Mrs. Eva Amspacher at Quay, Okla., stating that his son, Lieut. James W. Amspacher, who was in France had died and was buried on October 23, 1918. Deceased's wife, Mrs. Eva Amspacher, received a letter from France stating that he was buried on above named date, which was the first that they knew of him even being sick. Mr. Amspacher did not learn the full details over the phone, but it is presumed that he died of disease. Lieut. Amspacher had been in France several months. He leaves a wife and little daughter and a father and mother, one brother, and three sisters, and a host of warm friends to mourn his loss. He has paid the supreme sacrifice for the liberty of the world and his name will forever be remembered in Apache and vicinity, where he has spent several years of his life. His death is the second one of the Apache boys who was in the service of their country. Further details of his death will probably be ascertained before next week's issue of the Review. The Review joins with the many friends of the Amspacher family in extending most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
