POOLE, Neb. Sep 14, 2005 It took more than 60 years, but the final letter of a soldier killed in World War II finally made it home.
Gary Mathis bought a box of old newspapers at a yard sale in Kansas, and discovered the letter inside a newspaper from 1915. The letter, with military markings from France, was postmarked March 6, 1944.
It was addressed to W.J. Krotz of nearby Poole, about 120 miles west of Lincoln.
