Harold Chance, was laid in its last resting place this afternoon in the family lot in Elmwood Cemetery. Far from the scarred battlefield of France, far from the poppy fields of Flanders, the remains of the former Augusta boy who paid the supreme sacrifice, that world might be free for democracy, will sleep the last long sleep, close to the scenes where he spent his boyhood, his school days and many of the happiest days of his life. Harold Chance answered the call of his country early in the big strife and attended the first officer's training camp at Fort Riley where he received his commission and was sent at once to France where as an instructor in a machine gun school, he gave the best that was in him. He won the admiration and respect of his fellow officers and men and when he was stricken with the fatal disease his company lost a faithful friend and adviser. His mother, who now resides in Wichita is one of the many gold star mothers of the United States and today in her grief and sorrow, she is comforted with the peace, that comes to all the gold star mothers, who gave their sons so that our home land might live in peace and prosperity. There was funeral services held in Wichita 2:30 this afternoon conducted by the T. Hopkins post of that city and the funeral party come overland to Augusta, where they were joined by the local post, who assisted with the services at the cemetery here. The last taps have sounded for Harold Chance and no more will he hear the echoes of the battles resounding across the nation for his name has been placed on the long roll of those "who went West" for his country and for those he loved the best.
