Crestline Advocate
Thursday, 3 April 1919


         CAPT. W. D. SCARBROUGH, of Galion, has just been
       reported dead in France on March 13. A number of
       Crestiline boys enlisted in his company. He was
       born in Iberia, was at Mt. Gilead for a while, then
       went to Alliance where he was employed in the shops
       of the Morgan Engineering Company. While there he
       became a member of Company K, of the old Eighth regi-
       ment, and reaching the position of second lieutenant
       in the strict line of promotion. When he moved to
       Galion he was given his military transfer to Company
       L, as second lieutenant, later succeeding First
       Lieutenant FINDLEY when the latter was made captain.
       He went to the Mexican border with Company L, and
       upon the return of the company remained in Galion.
       When the company was ordered to assemble in the
       Armory following America's entry into the war, and
       along in July, 1917, he continued as first lieutenant
       until the resignation of Captain FINDLEY, when he
       was promoted to captain and held that position to
       the day of his death.
         CAPTAIN SCARBROUGH left with his command for Camp
       Sheridan, Ala., September 29th, 1917, arriving there
       October 1. The command remained there for a number of
       months, was mobilized into the U.S. troops as Company
       L of the 146th regiment, sent to several southern
       camps, and in June, 1918, was ordered overseas. With
       his company CAPTAIN SCARBROUGH saw some rough fight-
       ing and was struck by a shrapnel in the Argonne
       Forest drive. He was first sent to a London hospital,
       then to La Mans, France, and his recovery had been
       expected, but some time ago he took a turn for the
       worse and apparently grew greadually weaker until
       the end came.
         He leaves his widow and two little daughters, in
       Galion and his parents' MR. and MRS. WILLIAM
       SCARBROUGH, in Iberia.
