Mr. and Mrs. Ignatz Kulas, 418 Wadleigh street, have received word of the death of their son, Peter Kulas, which occurred on Oct. 12.

The young man, who was called to the service of his country, left here with a contingent last April and on Sept. 16, left for overseas service. Word was later received that he had landed in France Oct. 2. No further word had been received from him and it was, therefore, a shock when news came of his death. The announcement came in a letter from No, 2 General Hospital, B. E. F.. France, dated Oct. 12 and the writer took for granted that relatives here would have received the news, through the war office, before the letter reached them. However, evidently through an error, the message was never received through the regular channel. From the letter it was learned that the remains were buried in Ste. Marie cemetery, Le Havre and that his grave would be marked, with a plain wooden cross with his name and date upon it. All of his personal belongings will be sent home in time.

The cause of his death is not known, but it is presumed that it was probably influenza. Peter Kulas was born in Stevens Point 26 years ago last February 17. He had spent most of his life here. Besides his parents he is survived by one brother and four sisters... [November 6, 1918, The Gazette from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, · Page 1]
