Many flowers were gathered about town Saturday afternoon by ladies and placed with the flag covered casket in the undertaking rooms. The funeral services were simple but none the less impressive. Headed by the band the procession formed on Main street with the Legion Post and visiting Legion members from St. Marys and Silver Lake marching in line behind the band and the relatives behind the veterans. The line of march was east on Perry street to Orange thence north to the school grounds. By request of the mother, no singing was arranged for the service but the band played "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God to Thee" while the casket was taken before the outdoor altar. The Rev. H. L. Nelson of Topeka, preached the sermon. At the cemetery the legion ritualistic service was read by Rev. Nelson. The body was lowered to its final resting place and the firing squad fired three rounds in its salute. Bugler Lowell Hook concluded the service with "Taps." The floral offerings were beautiful and elaborate. A beautiful wreath from the Legion Post and a floral flag from the K.L. [missing] and several other set pieces from the people of the community were among the offerings. Eventus is the third of three Rossville boys to be brought home from France, to rest in his native soil. His was the only life lost in the battle line. He was killed during the advance of the 3rd Division in the Argonne, on Oct. 10, 1918. The day following, on Oct. 11, Glen Sebring and John Bravence, two other Rossville boys in the same division, but members of Co. G. 38th Inf., were hit during the same advance. Bravence was wounded severely but Sebring was saved by the bullet flattening itself against his belt buckle.
  		Obituary- Doud, Eventus S. d.1918 2 The two latter learned that Eventus had been hit from his comrades as G company went forward. Eventus was born in Rossville May 26, 1892 and at the time of his death was 26 years, 4 months and 14 days old. He was one of the first drafted men from Rossville, reaching Camp Funston Sept. 18, 1917. Other boys who were in the same call were Glen Sebring, Sam Cottle, John Bravence and Ray Lemon. The boys were placed in the 353rd infantry. In April 1918 Eventus, John Bravence and Glen Sebring were started overseas. In New Jersey they were assigned to the 3rd division. Eventus was assigned to H Co., 38th Inf., and Sebring and Bravence to G Co., 38th Inf. They had shared the same hardships until the day Eventus was killed. His death is mourned by his mother, Mrs. Rose Doud, one brother Edward, and one sister, Mrs. Jessie Felker, of Missoula, Mont., and other relatives of the community and his memory will be cherished and honored by the people of Rossville who had known him all his life. Body of Eventus Doud Home This Week A telegram from Hoboken, New Jersey came yesterday stating the remains of Private Eventus S. Doud were shipped from Hoboken, N.J. yesterday and they are expected here tomorrow. Mrs. Rose Doud and son Ed left Missoula, Mont., the 20th by auto and are expected in today or tomorrow. No announcement of the funeral arrangements can be given until the family arrives home. In the event the body arrives before the mother reaches Rossville, the remains will probably be taken to the Verschelden undertaking room until the day for the funeral is arranged.
