- Interment # 3867 in Sec H lot 113-2 on 26
Jul 1913
- "Moses Leroy Atkinson", The
Western Star, Lebanon, Ohio, Thursday July 31, 1913
"Moses Leroy Atkinson was born near Oregonia, Ohio, October
3, 1878, and died on board the Army Transport "Merritt"
off the coast of the Island of Luzen, near Legaspi, April 20, 1913,
from ruptured aneurism of the aorta, aged 34 years, six months and
17 days.
"His early life was passed in this county excepting one year
which was spent in New Jersey. He was of a generous affectionate
nature and won and retained friends where ever he went. In his home
life he was faithful to the trust reposed in him, brightening the
home by his cheery manner.
Early in the year 1899 he enlisted
in company "I" 16th Regiment, United States Army, and
was stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Soon after entering the
army he went with his regiment to the Philippine Islands, returning
home in February 1902. He remained at home until the summer of 1903
when he again entered the army, being assigned to the same regiment
and company he had previously served in. He was with his regiment
at Ft. McPherson, Ga., for several months when the 16th Regiment
was again sent to the Philippines. Returning to the United States
they were stationed at Ft. Crooks, Nebraska, where his enlistment
expired in February 1907. After spending a few days at home
he enlisted in Company "M" 17th Regiment, being at Ft.
McPherson, Ga., for nearly three years, going from there to Ft.
Sam Huston, Texas, with the Second Division of the Army. His time
of enlistment expired here, and desiring to continue in the service
he was transferred from the 17th to company "I" 13th Regiment,
with the rank of Corporal. In October 1911 he returned with his
regiment to the Philippines where his Major wrote in communicating
his death to his mother, "He died in the line of duty."
"On April 16, he was detailed a police sergeant of the Army
Transport "Merritt" where four days later his life work
ended.
His mother and family greatly appreciate the Nation's kindness in
having their loved one brought the long distance home, and his captain's
statement to his mother that "Your son was held in the highest
esteem by every member of his company and through his death is lost
the services of one of the best soldiers in it."
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. J. Kestle at the
chapel on Saturday morning July 26th."

Homer of Bassett, VA
"In his death record in Warren County Deaths, Book 2 1881-1904,
it lists his parents as James and Annie Smith Carey. This would
be logical since he is buried in the same plot with his mother Ann
Carey and his 2 children Cora Jane and Mabel S. (Infant). I have
sent for his death certificate as he died in the Spanish American
War in 1898. I am hoping it will list parents on the certificate.
