The Evening Gazette, Friday, January 10, 1919 Xenia Boy Wounded in France is Home With left little finger and part of the hand gone as a result of being shot away by a piece of shrapnel, Earl Bishir, a former Xenia boy, is back from France. He reached Xenia Thursday, and is a guest of his sister, Mrs. William Anderson of North West street. Private Bishir was sent to the front directly after reaching France, and was at St. Mihiel and the Argonne forest. He said that a piece of the shrapnel which hit him killed Herbert Hite, the only Xenia boy in the outfit with him. The whole time he was in France, Private Bishir failed to receive any letters or other word from his family, although he was very much concerned regarding them. [11]
