Annie Souls must have without doubt been devastated at the loss of her youngest son, and time would not allow her to dwell in tears of great and utter grief, sadness and despair, for all too soon the second telegram arrived with the more shocking news, and the loss of her next son.

These two tragedies alone was enough for any mother to bear, but more was to come than anyone could imagine for Annie Souls, not only had she had to endure the loss of two of her precious sons, when the third telegram arrived less than two weeks later, with the devastating news bringing further grief for this mother still enduring such sorrow…the death of her third son.
