1930 United States Federal Census (14 April 1930): Jamestown (Ward 5), Stutsman County, North Dakota (sheet 14B, family 268) – Leslie Stickelmeyer (9 North Dakota).
Leslie Stickelmeyer (22, 10 February 1918 Boden, North Dakota), a resident of 405 5th Ave., So., East Jamestown, North Dakota, signed up for his World War II Draft Registration Card (Serial No. 1286, Order No. 200) on 16 October 1940 in Clancey, Montana. He was unemployed. Leslie listed his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Stickelmeyer, as the person who would always know his address. He was described as 5' 8" in height, 140 lbs., with a dark complexion, brown hair and brown eyes.
Leslie Stickelmeyer (1921 North Dakota), a resident of Stutsman County, North Dakota, enlisted as a Private (S/N 19054717) in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on 19 May 1941 in Fort Missoula, Montana. He was single, had completed Grammar School and had been working as a farm hand.
Private Stickelmeyer was sent to the Philippine Islands and assigned to the Philippine Engineer Depot. It was the base depot of supplies for the Philippine Engineer Department. Located in the Manila port area, the depot had been adequate in the past but was too small to hold the enormous quantities with the accelerated defense program. By the time Private Stickelmeyer got there, construction of additional spaces, a small motor repair shop, several warehouses, a timber shed and a vehicle storage shed were being built along the Pasig River. That still was not enough. By December 1941 the depot was staffed by 3 officers, 18 enlisted men (including Stickelmeyer), 5 American civilians and 85 Filipino civilians.
On 08 December war came to the Philippines. Japanese forces began a full-scale invasion of Luzon on 22 December. In response, General Douglas MacArthur, ordered the withdrawal of the American and Filipino forces to the Bataan peninsula to be a part of the Bataan Defense Force.
Private Leslie Stickelmeyer was taken prisoner in the fall of the Philippines in April/May 1942. He was taken to POW Camp 1, Cabanatuan, Nueva Province, Luzon, Philippines 15-121
Private Leslie Stickelmeyer (S/N 19054717) was stricken with dysentery on 05 August 1942. He died while being treated for the disease on 03 September 1942 in the prison hospital. He was one of four men to die that day. By the time the camp was liberated in early 1945, 2,764 Americans had died at Cabanatuan in 2½ years.
He was buried in a communal grave in the camp cemetery along with other deceased American POWs who died that day. After the war, all the remains in the Cabanatuan Prison cemetery that could be found were disinterred (between December 1945 - February 1946) and brought to 7747 USAF Cemetery, Manila #2, Philippine Islands. Private Frey was reinterred in Block 3, Row 17, Grave 2180 (D-D 12959). The deceased in Manila #2 (over 11,000 American soldiers) rested there until their removal to the American Graves Registration Service Manila Mausoleum in the summer of 1948. From there, according to the wishes of his next of kin (father, Mr. Christ Stickelmeyer), Private Leslie Stickelmeyer was buried in his final resting place in the 7701 Ft. McKinley Cemetery (now known as the Manila American Cemetery) – Plot N, Row 6, Grave 36. Also see memorial 207626693
