Port Huron Navy Man Is Reported Killed In Action
The problem of what to send their Navy son, Angelus G. Casado, for Christmas was being gaily discussed Thursday night in their home, 1512 Gillett street, when a messenger delivered a telegram to Mr. and Mrs. Antonio T. Casado that brought the world tumbling down about them.
"The Navy department deeply regrets to inform you that your son, Angelus Gutirez Casado, aviation metalsmith, third class, USN, was killed in action in the performance of his duty and in the service of his country," the message stated.
"It changed things in the house when that telegram came," Angelus' younger brother, Emilio J. Casado, said this morning in The Times Herald office, showing the telegram, signed by Rear Adm. Randall Jacobs, chief of Navy personnel, Washington, D. C.
Angelus, 20, third son of Mr. and Mrs. Casado, enlisted in the Navy two years ago and joined the Pacific fleet after completing his preliminary training at Great Lakes Naval Training station, Great Lakes, Ill.
He was born in Pennsylvania and came to Port Huron with his parents when he was two years old. He attended Grant school and Washington Junior High school.
In his telegram, Rear Admiral Jacobs stated that "on account of existing conditions" recovery of Angelus' remains is impossible. The youth's parents were asked not to divulge the name of his ship or station so as not to give vital information to the enemy.
Angelus once served on the U. S. S. Yorktown, naval aircraft carrier, the loss of which in the great Midway battle was acknowledged Thursday by the Navy department.
He is survived by his parents, five brothers, John G. Casado, Marysville; Louis G. Casado, Army private stationed at Fort Custer, and Richard G. Casado, all of Port Huron, and three sisters, Carmen H. Casado and Isabelle Casado, both of Port Huron, and Mrs. Antonia Vincent, Flushing, Mich.
