World War 1


Gail Hamilton Steinberger, of Toledo
This Toledo boy heard his country's call and enlisted in the U. S. Navy within ten days after war had been declared upon Germany. He entered the service April 23, 1917, at Bremerton, Washington and was assigned to the U. S. S. Kentucky. He was later transferred to the collier Cyclops, whose disappearance remains a mystery. Fast Naval scouts searched the waters of the Barbadoes in an effort to find some trace of the wreck and for a time there was hope that the vessel would be heard from, but that hope has been in vain as the realization came home to us that the vessel with her precious cargo of human lives has done to swell the number of the victims of the submarine. Garil was born in Minnesota, July 19, 1892, and came west with his parents when he was ten years old. He attended the public schools at Toledo and was one of Toledo's well known young men. He gave up a good position to enlist in the service of his country and the community as one mourned his loss.

From a little child at his mother's knee, he was taught that his country came next to his Creator, so that it was small wonder that he was among the first to enlist when his country was in danger. The mothers and fathers of America are responsible for the splendid way in which the American soldier responded to the country's call, and while the loss of Earnest was a sad blow to his parents, there is a certain joy which comes to the mother of a hero, in the knowledge that he did not fail in his duty, even when it cost him his life.
