 1319 Stanley G. Gaver TANLEY G. GAVER was graduated from Springfield High School in 1909, and from Wittenberg College in 1913. He later attended the University of Pennsylvania for architectural work. As a student and workman he was conscientious, sincere, modest, studious and loyal to the core. He later taught mechani- cal drawing in Wittenberg College and for two years was instruc- tor in architectural drafting in the Y. M. C. A. night school. As a teacher he possessed a winning personality which drew men to himself. Later he answered the call to service and was con- nected with Battery G, 324th Regiment, Heavy Field Artillery, which work he took up with vigor and enthusiasm. His knowl- edge of mathematics made him a valuable man in artillery work. On Monday afternoon, January 7th, just as the winter’s day was merging into twilight, the spirit left the body and he entered the life triumphant, due to an attack of pneumonia. The body was escorted from Camp Sherman to Chillicothe by the regimental band and military escort of Battery C. “The son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood red banner streams afar, Who follows in his train.” thirteen
