======================================================================


Howard Cornelia Delozier better known to all as Nealie, was born in Cass 
County near Union, Nebr. December 23, 1892, and died somewhere in France, 
sometime between the 15th and 17th of July, 1918. Nealie moved with his 
parents to Thurston County in the spring of 1900 and from there to Magnet 
in 1906, where he was living at the time he answered the call of the draft. 
He left Magnet, October 3, 1917 in company with a number of other boys and 
went to Camp Funston for training. He was detailed as a hostler in the 
service at Funston which he held until he landed in France. He was transferred 
from Funston to Camp Merritt, N.J. arriving at the latter camp January 27, 
1918, and after a short stay there sailed for France in February in company 
with a shipload of horses and mules. Upon his arrival in France he entered 
the infantry in which branch he was serving at the time of his death. Nealie 
was a home loving boy and had never been away from home more than a week at a 
time until he left for the army. His parents were notified in August 1918 that 
he had been killed in action somewhere in France. It is presumed that he died 
somewhere near the place where his great grandfather Delozier was born. He is 
survived by his father and mother, five brothers and two sister, all at home in 
Magnet.

(Notation: the body was flown home in July of 1922 for funeral services)
