Red
Cross Worker Dies of Disease in France
Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Jan 8 - Cornell college has added another gold
cross to its service flag representing the sacrifice in the death
of Elsie May Hatch of Edgewood, Iowa, who died of bronchial
pneumonia in Paris, on December 20, where she has been engaged in
Red Cross work for several months. Miss Hatch received her
secondary education at the Edgewood high school, Edgewood, Iowa,
and Lenox college academy, and spent the first two years of her
college course at Lenox college, transferring at the end of her
sophomore year to Cornell college, Mount Vernon, Iowa, where she
spent her junior and senior years, graduating in 1910. A
telephone message from Edgewood to President Flint announced the
sad news last Saturday and the family have requested President
Flint to join with them in an effort to get permission to bring
the body back to America for interment.
