Professor O. Kelly Ingram, I assume a relation if not descendant of this gentleman, taught in the Duke Divinity School & School of Religion for many years until recent times. I met him a couple of times. See if he shows for Durham on Swithchboard.com. My vague memory is that he was not in the Ingram family history (I am kin to all those in the blood line, because it starts with a marriage into my Hendricks family). Meanwhile, if memory clears & record appears, I will report. Maybe he was in the book, & Mayor Roy Ingram of Tarrant and daughter or kin, Martha Ann Ingram, Top 10 in Miss America, were the ones I could not connect. -----Original Message----- From: aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Delilah Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 4:22 PM To: aljeffer@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ALJEFF] WW1 - FYI That link don't work, are you sure it is written correct? ----- Original Message ----- From: "jdav2703" <jdav2703@satx.rr.com> To: <aljeffer@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [ALJEFF] WW1 - FYI | Osmond Kelly Ingram born in Pratt City,Alabama | 4 August 1887, entered the Navy 24 November 1903. | on USS Cassin when she was attacked by a German submarine off Ireland 16 | October 1917. | Gunner's Mate First Class Ingram spotted the | approaching torpedo, realized it would strike close | by explosives, thus dooming the ship, and rushed to jettison the Ammunition. | He was blown overboard | when the torpedo struck,thus becoming the first | enlisted man killed in action in World War-1 as he | saved his ship and shipmates. see more at. | www.history.navy.mil/danfs/o4/osmond_ingram.html | | Joe D. | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALJEFFER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message | ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALJEFFER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
