SOLDIER, 'DEAD’
AYEAR,RETURNS
Son Os Cordele Minister
Was Picked Up
By Germans
CORDELE, Jan. I.—There is re
joicing in the home of Rev. E. T.
( Pritchett such as seldom occurs from
like cause. Mr. Pritchett’s son who
was reported lost in battle is found.
, Fred A. Pritchett, son of Rev. E.
T. Prichett, , of Cordele, was official
ly reported dead by the government
j ; and more than a year later he writes
home that he is well and will soon be
with his people.
The story is like the most exciting
adventure in fiction. Young Mr.
| Pritchett enlisted in the Macon Vol
; unteers and went to the Mexican
, | border with that company. In the
, great war his company was put into
Battery H, 151st Machine Gun Bat
. ! talion and soon saw active service at
the front. In October, 1918, Rev.
. Mr. Prichett received notice from the
war department that his son lay dead
on th«> battlefields of the Meuse. For
:; more than a year the young man was
j mourned as dead, until yesterday
| when the father received a letter
, from his son dated from Washing
i j ton and stating that he wofald soon
be home.
Young Mr. Pritchett was shot down
on the battlefield and lay there until
picked up by the Germans. For
more than a year he was in German
hospitals and prisons and has just
now reached “The Good Old United
States.”
