Died in the service at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., Monday, Oct. 14, at 4:30 p.m., James Fulton Cloe, youngest son of James H. and Mary F. Cloe.
James F. Cloe was born at Colemansville, Harrison Co., Ky., Feb. 8, 1889. The early part of his life was spent at Covington and Berry. In 1904 he with his mother and sister Anna went to Eureka, Ill. to live with his brother, J. Newton Cloe, who was there in college. There he lived and attended school until 1912 when they moved to Peoria, Ill., where he was living at the time of his call to the colors.
He was employed as a time-keeper at Halt Manufacturing Co. His congenial nature gathered about him a host of friends. His genius marked him as a favorite fellow among his business associates and acquaintances.
Previous to entering the National Army he was a member of Co. E., Seventh Regiment, Illinois Militia Reserve. He entered the service as a member of Co. 18, Division 629, stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
The news of his death came as a shock because it was a sudden unexpected event, the only previous notice of his sickness being a letter received Oct. 14, by his brother, John, from the chaplain of Jefferson Barracks, written at request of young Cloe, telling that he was in the hospital and would not be able to write himself. At ten o’clock p.m. of the same day a message came telling of his death. The cause of his death was pneumonia following influenza.
His remains were brought to Berry, escorted by Sergeant Markletz, arriving Wednesday, his brother, John Cloe having joined them at Cincinnati. His funeral was conducted at 11:30, Thursday, Oct. 15, and his body laid to rest by the side of his mother, who preceded him to the grave the 30th of March last, in the family lot at the Christian Church Cemetery at Colemansville.
He is survived by one sister and three brothers, J. Newton and Anna, of Peoria Ill., William B., Birmingham, Ala., and Robert E., of Covington, Ky.
