The death of Mrs. William H. SCHLOSSER at her home just north of Bluff Mills on Sunday morning brought a climax to a story of incurable illness and destitution. Schlosser is a WWI veteran and one of the victims of the “economy” campaign. Although he was a total disability case from mental trouble, his pension was cut off and reasons of support, with Mrs. Schlosser dying of cancer and Mr. Schlosser confined in the county jail to keep him from harming himself or others. The American Legion has been giving what assistance was possible. Mrs. Schlosser was the daughter of William and Laura GOSKILL and was born in Ft. Wayne October 31, 1898. She married Mr. Schlosser May 26, 1917. They lived in Indianapolis but for the past year have lived at Bluff Mills. She is survived by the husband, a daughter of 19 and son of six. A short service was held here on Tuesday morning in charge of Rev. H. Roy Sigler, after which the body was taken to South Bend for burial. --kbz
