Harry B. Williams, first sergeant in the marine corps, has been reported killed in action in the South Pacific theatre of war according to word received Sunday morning by Mrs. Williams, who resides in the Brown apartment homes here.
Sgt. Williams enlisted in the marines the day that the United States declared war on the Axis nations in December, ’41. He was sent overseas two years ago this coming October. Before entering the service of his country, Sgt. Williams was employed by the Dr. Scholl Co., and he and his family made their home in Minneapolis, Minn.
Mrs. Williams and two children, Tommy, who is three and a half years old, and Gwenyth Kathleen, who was a year old last May and who has never seen her daddy, survive.
