Another soldier came home from the war last week, but there was not the happy meeting with relatives that customarily marked the return of the others, especially those who had crossed the sea at their countries call. For this was the arrival from France of the silent form of Charles F Karnatz, who had died in that alien if friendly land while in the service of his country and whose relatives had asked that his remains be returned to his native land to rest beside those of his brother Edward, who had also died in service. Uniformed member of the American Legion, his comrades in arms, escorted the flag-draped casket to the Methodist Church in Burr Oak, Saturday afternoon, where funeral services were held, being conducted by Rev J A Stansbury, assisted by Rev W A Smith and Rev J G Demoret. The business of the town was suspended during the services and the church was filled to over-flowing with friends and acquaintances, come to do honor to the departed. Here the following obituary was read:
Private Charles F., eldest son of John and Lena Karnatz, was born near St Francis, Kansas, Sep 12, 1888 and departed this life in a hospital in France, October 6, 1918 age 30 years and 24 days. The cause of his death was lobar pneumonia. He came with his parents to Jewell County in 1909, where he lived at home with them until he answered his countries call as a volunteer Dec 12, 1917. Enlisting at Belleville, Kansas in the coast artillery, he was sent to Ft Logan, Colorado then to San Francisco, California and from there to France, at the time of his death being the Battery #, 52nd C A C. He was converted when a young man of 18 years in a meeting held by Reg Wigfield at Ensign schoolhouse and thereafter took his place in the family devotions. While being quiet and unassuming in his manner, he was always ready and anxious to help others in need. Charley was a great home boy, devoting his life to the cares and work of the farm. He had great regard for the wishes of his father and mother, being a model young man in the home life. He was a very affectionate son and considerate and brother and friend to all. Thus have the family been called upon the second time to offer a son upon the alter of their county. Edward dying at Camp Funston in Nov 1918. There are left to mourn their loss father, mother, 3 brothers, 1 sister, besides other relatives and friends.
In the beautiful Burr Oak cemetery the body was laid to rest with military ceremonies. Across the open grace was fired the salute to the dead the bugle sounded the farewell "Taps" and the remains of the American soldier were at last at rest near the scenes of his youth.
