R.E. Clapp Listed Killed In Korea One Seattle soldier was reported killed in action and another wounded in a Korean casualty list issued yesterday by the Defense Department. Pvt. Richard E. Clapp, son of Mr. and Mrs. B.A. Clapp, 3502 Holly Street, was listed as killed in action. Pfc. Theodore R. Grose, friend of David G. Wilder, 11986 Lakeside Avenue Northeast, was reported wounded. Clapp, 19, was a sophomore at Franklin High School when he enlisted in the Army in July 1949, Mrs. Clapp said. He volunteered for duty in Korea. The youth had spent several days with his family here in July before being flown to Korea. "I wanted him to have a photograph taken while he was here, but I didn't want to ask him think I was worried about what might happen," his mother said. Grose apparently was an orphan with no close relatives, according to Wilder. He had spent several weeks at the Wilder home before enlisting in the Army. ***** The Seattle Times December 4, 1950 Mother of G.I. Listed as Killed Keeps Up Hope Missing In Action Army Pfc.
