Willing Contracts Pneumonia Aiding Yanks. One of the fighting parsons who went to France with Pershing was the Rev. Herman Samuel Willing, born and reared in Chicago. Barred by his age from enlisting in the ranks -- he was 46 -- he joined the Y. M. C. A. overseas service and devoted himself to work in the front line trenches. When the American offensive northwest of Verdun was launched he was transferred to the Argonne region, where he served with Illinois troops of the Thirty-third division. Exposure caused him to contract a severe cold, but he refused to leave his post. Pneumonia developed and he died Nov. 22. Since May of 1917 he had lived at Moline, where he was pastor of the Union Congregational church. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Minnie R. Willing, and a son and daughter.
