[Welland Telegraph, 26 November 1918]
James McKenney, Industrial Park, received the sad news on Saturday, that his son,, Earl Coleman McKenney, had died of wounds at No. 4 Casualty Clearing Station on Nov. 10, one day before peace was declared. The official message says he suffered gunshot wounds in the back and hand, and a fracture of the left thigh. The young man was 24 years of age and when in Welland was employed by the Canadian Steel Foundries. He is survived by his parents, one sister, Leotta, two brothers in Welland, Argo and Eric and one brother at the front, Ray, who went overseas with the 176th battalion. The bereaved family has much sympathy in their bereavement. The Telegraph hopes we may hear of no more of our boys paying the supreme sacrifice in the great war.
