San Anselmo Boy Falls In France

Another Marin county boy has fallen on the battlefields of France, the victim of a Hun bullet.

He was Louis G. Gogna, of San Anselmo, former partner in the firm of Cordoni & Company, Fairfax vegetable gardens.

The sad news came to Giacomo Gogna, a brother, this morning, that Louis had been killed in action.

Gogna left here in November of 1917, for Camp Lewis. He remained there but a short time and was sent to France, where he had been in training until the commencement of the great drive which is sweeping on to victory.

He was 28 years of age and a subject of Italy, but did not claim exemption on that ground.
