18 July, 1929 - The Pilot-Tribune
The community was greatly shocked when the news reached here that Wallace, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Antrim, had passed away at his home in Kearney July 11, 1929. The body arrived here Saturday afternoon, and a private service was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Antrim Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The service was conducted by Rev. A. J. Edgar, and the Leslie Davis Post American Legion had charge at the cemetery, using the regular form of military funeral. Wallace E. Antrim was born in Arlington, Neb. August 22nd, 1895 and died in Kearney July 11, 1929, aged 33 years, 10 months and 19 days. He was united in marriage November 1st, 1920 to Miss Marguerite Hatton of Arlington, and to this union one son, James, now seven years of age, was born. Wallace was one of the first to enlist in the World War from here. He went overseas with the First Division under Gen. John J. Pershing. He served for 25 months, and was in five major engagements and received a citation for bravery. He was a member of Co. F. 16th Infantry, First Division A.E.F. He was a buddy of the first three American boys to fall in battle in the World War, Merle Hays, Gresham and Enright. Wallace had a jacket of Gresham’s that he greatly prized. Wallace was gassed while in the service and together with all the hardships he endured while in the trenches his health was so greatly undermined that life has been a battle in order to live at all since he received his discharge. He hid his real condition so well that even his friends and neighbors failed to realize how serious it was. Wallace Antrim was not permitted to live long on this earth, but in those years, though short, he made for himself a place in the hearts of those who knew him, by his bravery, honesty and courage in the time of his long illness. When a small boy he united with the Arlington Methodist church and Dr. Hess of the Kearney M. E. church conducted funeral services at the Crawford funeral Home Saturday morning at 9 o’clock. Besides his parents, wife and son, Wallace is mourned by several brothers and sisters, Archie Antrim of the Canal Zone, Mrs. Nels Johnson of California, Miss Irma Antrim of Kearney, Miss Marguerite Antrim of Omaha and Joe, Ted and Ruth Antrim at home. The many friends of this worthy family, both here and elsewhere, unite in heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their bereavement.
Mr. and Mrs. James Hatton of Colorado attended the funeral of their son-in-law, Wallace Antrim. Mr. Hatton returned to his home soon after the funeral. He was accompanied by W. E. Antrim and Mrs. Hatton will stay at Kearney for a while with her daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Antrim.
