Safe Words from the Pacific - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Christmas in many Montgomery County homes was made happier because of word that sons in the armed service in the Pacific area are safe.  Mr. and Mrs. Marion Clouser, Darlington have word that their son, Marion H. Clouser, sailor is safe.  John McIntire, gun pointer first class in the navy 8 years sent word to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira McIntire, Crawfordsville that he escaped the Pearl Harbor attack unhurt.  Mr. and Mrs. Berry Jackson,

Crawfordsville received a “safe” message Christmas eve from their son, Justus O. Jackson stationed at Hickman Field, Honolulu. Donald E. Runyan, formerly of Waynetown, a naval flyer now serving his second enlistment also came through without injury according to word received Christmas even by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Runyan, Alamo.  ---kbz
