Obituary

The death of Major Orlando C. Troxel, U.S. Cavalry, which occurred at the Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D.C., November 24, 1917, came as a shock to his friends throughout the service. He had been ill for two weeks and a serious turn for the worse, following an operation, came but a few hours before his death. Major Troxel was born in Illinois, November 23, 1875. He graduated from West Point in 1901, and was assigned to the 12th Cavalry. On promotion to First Lieutenancy he joined the 10th Cavalry. He served two tours in the Philippines, spent three years in Japan as an attache of the American Embassy, and went into Mexico with the 10th Cavalry, March 15, 1915, remaining there eleven months, during which time he contracted the illness which finally resulted in his death. Major Troxel's service to his country was of the highest type. Always faithful in the performance of duty, his high qualities fain for him the love of fellow officer and enlisted men. While on duty at Camp Custer, Michigan, in command of the 328th Machine Gun Battalion, he received his Majority in the Infantry, National Army, and from August 30th to October 28th, 1917, he was on duty at Camp Meade, Md., with the 368th Infantry. Major Troxel is survived by his wife and three children. [Extract from A. & N. Journal, December 3, 1917]
