This is another entry from the scrapbook of Belle Forrest Sumpter Gullett. I apologize for it not having a date, however, it does have genealogical information and I edited out some of the story.Also, the name of the newspaper is torn off.(note: if anyone has someone who is making scrapbooks. Please ask them to get the name of the paper as well as the date it was in the news.) also, if anyone is related to these men and would like the full column, I can scan and send. sincerely, Judy Hugg Grimes "Staff Sgt.
