Article Text: Carmel, Calif., Oct 17, 1946 General Joseph Stillwells ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean yesterday in accordance with the soldier-hero's wishes. His personal plane, carrying the same three crew members who flew him on countless missions in China and Burma, carried the ashes out to sea after dipping low and circling the Stillwell family home, Llantair, at Carmel. Carmel and nearby communities suspended business for 15 minutes as a mark of respect, schools observed a minute of silence and community services were held here in Defandorf Plaza with the placing of a wreath before the Carmel War Memorial in Stillwells memory. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
