Ostrowski -- were listed in the overseas casualties of yesterday as having died of wounds. David R. Forgan, president of the National City bank, received notification of the wounding of his son-in-law, W. Vernon Booth Jr., presumably in aerial combat. Booth is a sergeant in the Lafayette escadrille. His injuries consist of fractures of the wrist and leg, according to the cablegram received by Mr. Forgan from his daughter, Mrs. Booth, who until May, when she was married in Paris, was Miss Ethel Forgan. Brought Down Foe. The cable disclosed no details, Mr. Forgan said. Sergt. Booth, however, already had a record as an intrepid air fighter. On Feb. 23 last he brought down a Boche machine in a battle some miles inside the German lines. He was born in Chicago and is a son of the founder of the Booth Fisheries company and a cousin of P. D. Armour Ill., John Lester Armour, and Patrick A. Valentine Jr. He was graduated from Harvard and the New York Law school, and was practicing law in New York when the war started. Lieut. McKeown Hurt. Another Chicago eagle to suffer severe injury is Lieut. John Lattimer McKeown, member of the Chicago Athletic association and a son of John C. McKeown of 5125 Ingleside avenue, of the contracting firm of McKeown Bros. News of his injury was conveyed in a letter received from his friend, Lieut. T. R. Hinger. McKeown was flying in the neighborhood of Paris when his machine became unmanageable and fell. McKeown was pinned beneath the wreckage, but his padded leather helmet saved his life by preventing his skull from being crushed, the letter read. McKeown is an alumnus of the University of Chicago and in 1914 was the champion hurdler of the west. Lieut. Cox Wounded. Professor H. J. Cox, director of the Chicago forecast division of the United States weather bureau, received a letter from his son, Lieut. Paul G. Cox, of the Twenty-eighth United States infantry, apprising him that he and a fellow officer, Lieut. Crowley, son of W. H. Crowley, chief clerk of the United States railway mail service, had been wounded in action June 12. Both are convalescing rapidly in a hospital in the south of France. "I suppose you have heard all about the American drive by this time," the letter reads. "I cannot write you very much about it. I lasted three days after going over the top and was hit just before we were relieved to come back. It was a wonderful drive, with French tanks, and we surely delivered a knockout punch to Fritz." Sycamore Lieutenant Dead. Lieut. George P. Gustafson, who is listed as having died of wounds, formerly was a clerk with the B. F. Goodrich company, 1925 South Michigan avenue, and lived at the Wilson Avenue Y. M. C. A. His family live at Sycamore, Ill. He won his commission at the first officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan. Sergt. Stanley C. Ostrowski, also listed as having died of wounds, had served in the regular United States army three years and had received an honorable discharge, but he reenlisted in 1916 and was among the first to go to France. His mother, Mrs. Eva Oxtrowski, has a three starred service flag in the window of the home at 2236 Sacramento avenue, Stanley's two brothers, John and Bernard, both being in the military service. Medals for Wounded Private. There is no doubt that one or two medals will be pinned on the coat of Private John P. Kaulen if he recovers from his wounds in a French base hospital. He was listed as severely wounded. Kaulen it was who last May was surprised by three Germans while he lay in an advanced listening post in No Man's land. He was ordered to surrender. Instead he reversed the situation by making prisoners of his captors and marching them back to the American lines. He formerly lived with his uncle, Hubert Kaulen at 510 South Leavitt street. Missing in action is the notation after the name of private Frank Gorny of the Eighteenth company, Fifth regiment of marines. He has been a member of the marines three years. He left for France last August. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gorny, live at 2701 Cologne street. Another member of the Rev. Charles A. Nyman's church, the Broadway Methodist Episcopal, at Broadway and Buckingham place, has been named in the casualty list. He is Private Fred A. Uhlendorf, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Uhlendorf of 3432 Elaine place. He was slightly wounded June 6. He enlisted May 6, 1917, and is a member of the Eighty-third company, Sixth regiment of marines. He was formerly a salesman for the National Biscuit company. |
