NEW YORK NOTES FROM THE TIMES ============================= Seven men from the metropolitan district were reported as dead in service in France, in the casualty lists issued yesterday by the War Department. Five of the soldiers died in action, the two others dying in hospital of wounds. Lieutenant Daniel J. Carney, whose name was not in the official list, was killed in action at the front recently, according to a telegram from the War Depart- ment received yesterday by his wife at her home, 80 Linden Street, Yonkers, N.Y. His death occurred exactly eleven months after his marriage. He enlisted in the infantry eight years ago and served four years in Honolulu, where he was promoted to Sergeant. Last September he was sent to Plattsburg, and the following November he was commissioned First Lieutenant. He went to France in January and was assigned to the 23d Infantry. He was 33 years old. Sergeant Harry Klein, killed in action, was born in Austria twenty-three years ago, and came to this country in his infancy with his parents. After seven years' residence in Manhattan the family moved to Newark, N.J., and were living at 209 Broome Street, where they had a grocery business, when Harry, the eldest son, enlisted in the regulars, four years ago. He was in the first contingent to go abroad. Corporal John R. Canfield, who lived with his parents in Fairfield Avenue, Cedar Grove, N.J., was killed in action with the Marines. With his brother, Roger I. Canfield, who is now a Sergeant, he enlisted in April, 1917, when he was 18 years old. Both brothers were assigned to the same company in the Marines. Corporal Canfield had recently finished six months' service in the trenches. Three weeks ago his mother received a letter from him, inclosing several withered poppies which he had picked one night while scouting in No Man's Land. Private Nathan Korngold, who died in action, was listed as living at 109 East 104th Street, his next of kin being Mrs. Annie Korngold. At the address it was said no one of that name was known. Relatives of Private Amedio R. Gialanella, who lived at 253 East 105th Street, were absent from the city yesterday. According to neighbors, Gialanella enlisted about a year ago. He was 22 years old and had been in France about ten months. Harry McCredie, killed in action, enlisted in the regulars five years ago, following the death of his father and mother. He was only 17 when he entered the army, and had been living iwth an uncle, Robert McCredie, at 204 West Sixty-seventh Street. The uncle now lives at 148 Twenty-third Street, West New York, N.J. Although he was an alien at the time he was drafted into the army, Private Harry W. Herman, reported wounded, was imbued with a thoroughly American spirit, evidenced in letters he wrote home. One received yesterday by his mother, Mrs. Ida Herman, a widow, who lives at 28 Forsyth Street with a married daughter and three other children, read in part: "I have been up to the front for a few weeks and have come back safely. At present I am in a hospital suffering a little, a very little, from inhaling some gas. But I will get my sweet revenge when I get out." Herman came to this country from Kovno, Russia, in 1913. He was drafted last January in Philadelphia. He is a bricklayer, 22 years old, and the oldest of six children. When he went to France last February he was a member of an engineer regiment, but he was trans- ferred to Company F, 18th Infantry. Joseph T. Farmer, whose mother, Mrs. Catherine Farmmer of Yonkers, saw his picture in a film and went home to receive a telegram stating that he had been severely wounded in action, was notified yesterday that he had died. He was 26 years old and was a graduate of St. Mary's Parochial School in Yonkers. He was a member of Company M, 9th infantry, one of the companies of the Syracuse Brigade, wihch was decorated for bravery under fire. Farmer enlisted last June at Fort Slocum and went to France in September. He received his wounds in his third trip over the top. Hugh Barr, reported dead from wounds, lived at 455 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, and enlisted in the regulars a year ago, about eighteen months after he came here from Ireland. He was a fireman in the B.R.T. power house at the foot of Division Street, Brooklyn. A brother, William Barr, serving in the British forces, is thought to have been killed or captured. Barr was a member of Company G, 26th Infantry, and was trained at Camp Merritt, N.J. Private Stanislaw Donderewicz, who is severely wounded, lived with Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ross, 149 Twenty-third Street, Brooklyn. He was 25 years old on April 23, 1917, when he enlisted in Company D of the 59th Infantry. Later he was transferred to Syracuse and assigned to Company L, 9th Infantry. He went to France last Summer. Donderewicz was born in Poland and came here seven years ago. For a long time he was a singer in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Brooklyn, and Secretary of three Polish societies. He was wounded on June 13. At 27 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, the address given in yesterday's list as the home of Sergeant John Broderick, no one knew him. Lieutenant Ruford D. Franklin of the United States Aviation Service, a son of Mayor Franklin of Summit, N.J., has been burned in an accident in France, it was announced yesterday. The Mayor learned of his son's injuries through a cablegram sent by Lieutenant Arthur Gwynne of the air service, to his father, the Rev. Dr. Walker Gwynne of Summit. Lieutenant Franklin has been abroad several months. He is a graduate of Columbia Law School. |
