flying corps, who has been "killed or captured," 
according to the Canadian casualty report as

was thereafter engaged in newspaper work in 
Chicago and Evanston until he enlisted last 
September.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus Tysdal of 4056 North Kolmar 
avenue have received notification of the death of 
their son, Private John A. Tysdel of Company C, 
Thirteenth United States infantry, at Camp Fremont,

His father, who died last July, was formerly mayor of 
Naperville. A brother, Guy Kendall, lives at 5315 
Kenmore avenue.
