Oconto Falls 
November 10, 1938  

-Lieutenant Floyd Mc Dougal, 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. B.P. Mc Dougal, Oconto Falls, died at Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon after a long illness. Lieutenant Mc Dougal was a United States Army Reserve officer on active CCC duty at the Highland, Wis. CCC camp when he became ill. He had spent some time this year at hospitals in La Crosse, Fort Sheridan and Washington.

Survivors are his parents; one brother, Glen, Oconto Falls; and three sisters, Mrs. Gerald Schlosser, Oconto Falls, and the Misses Ethel and Margaret Ann, both at home.

Well known in Green Bay, Lieutenant Mc Dougal was a member of the 43rd Infantry, Green Bay area, Army Organized reserves at the time of his death. Working his way up through CMTC ranks, he saw duty with the CCC as a first sergeant after joining the reserves, and while with the CCC received special commendation for his work on flood relief in the Ohio River valley flood of two years ago. Lieutenant Mc Dougal, prior to his last assignment, was assigned to a year's active duty as a reserve officer under the Thomason act, which gives reserve officers the opportunity to receive commissions in the regular army.

If the funeral is to be held in Oconto Falls, as is expected, Lieutenant Colonel Norman B. Wood, Two Rivers, Lieutenant Mc Dougal's regimental commander, Major Thomas G. Poland, Instructor of the Green Bay area, and other area officers will be in attendance, it was announced today.
