Excerpts from Waynesburg Republican, Aug. 15, 1918:
“Greene County Heroes Fall in France

13 Members of Company K, 110th Regiment, Killed in Battle - Homes are Sorrow-stricken by News

Waynesburg was overwhelmed with sorrow on Tuesday, when telegrams arrived from the War Department, giving casualties in Company K, 110th Regiment. Our people knew that the regiment had been engaged in the recent great battles in France and the friends of the soldiers were apprehensive, yet all kept hoping that no bad news would follow, at least that none our our boys would be reported killed. ...

Killed in Action, July 30. ...
Lawrence L. Staggers, aged 20, son of James E. Staggers, Bristoria.”1287
