Will Bury Heights War Hero Sunday (1921)

Louis Julius Freudenberg (1894-1918) in Hudson Observer on July 22, 1921. Correction: Louis Julius Freudenberg was not a corporal, he was a private. When a new tombstone was ordered from the Veterans Administration to replace his damaged original, it was confirmed that he was a private at the time of his death, and there was no posthumous promotion.
