World War I
   We desire to devote a few words and lines of tribute to the boys out of the homes of Maysville who rendered valiant service to their country in the great World War, most of them spending months in active service overseas and nearly all of them were volunteers.

Gillespie, who was killed in action during the Argonne Forest battle.  The following is a list of boys who served in the army and navy:
