LT. ALLAN J. EWOLDT OFFICIALLY KILLED IN ACTION
Official word was received Monday night by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Ewoldt that their son, Allan had been "killed in action July 5th in Sicily". In the latter part of July it was reported on a radio news broadcast that Allen was missing, but it was not until several weeks later that the Ewoldts received word from the government that he had not returned from his mission. First Sergeant Allen B. Huckabee of Temple, Texas, and Technical Sergeant David Fleming of Jackson, Michigan, who were members of Lieutenant Ewoldt's "Flying Fortress" crew were found in a hospital in Sicily when the American invasion forces arrived at Ragusa. They told of being attacked by more than 100 German and Italian planes in a raid on Comiso airfield. In a matter of minutes, they said, the tail gunner, one waist gunner, the co-pilot and the ball turret gunner were killed. The co-pilot was Lieutenant Ewoldt. Sergeant Huckabee told of jumping from the plane and then seeing it crash as he and the others who were able floated down. Lieutenant Ewoldt had been cited for bravery in previous raids, and had received four ribbons for distinguished service and the Distinguished Flying Cross. The community of Hartley joins with this paper in extending sympathy to the bereaved Ewoldt family

MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD FOR ALLAN EWOLDT WEDNESDAY
The memorial service for Allan Ewoldt was held in the Methodist church on Wednesday afternoon. July 5. This was just one year from the date when he was killed in action over Sicily, according to the report from the government. Rev. Geo. E. Scheider, pastor of the church, was in charge. As a eulogy, he read the communication from the Government and parts from the letter to the parents from Lieut. Vernon Schoedinger, who had been a member of his crew while in training in this country. Rev. Scheider spoke on "Everlasting Remembrance" suggesting that a fitting remembrance would be one of gratitude for what he meant to his family and friends as well as remembering that for which he gave his life. A grateful remembrance could only be shown by completing and making permanent the cause for which he sacrificed. Since Allan had been so very fond of organ music, it was the request of the family that no vocal and only organ music be given. They also suggested the numbers to be used. These were most beautifully rendered by Mrs. Harrison Pike, organist for the church. The American Legion Post and the Post Legion Auxiliary attended the service as a group. Beautiful floral offerings of garden flowers were arranged about the altar. The new Service Flag of the church was mentioned during the service. The 81 stars are arranged in the form of a cross with the remaining grouped around is, the only gold star among the entire number being that for Allan Ewoldt. Attention was also called to the pulpit Bible which had been presented to the church in/memory of Allan and other possible casualties by the Young Adult Fellowship of the church. Allan had been a member of this group before his enlistment.
