Joseph Goven, Ray Greenwood in Same Gun Crew
Two Winona county men, members of the same gun crew in North Africa, were killed in action March 29, according to messages received by their parents from the War department Tuesday.
They are:
Joseph C. Goven, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Goven, 427 East Third Street, and Raymond r. Greenwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Greenwood, Lamoille.
Two years ago today, April 14, 1941, the two men left Winona as members of the same selective service quota. They stood side by side in a photograph taken by the Republican-Herald.
Both received training at Camp Claiborne, La., went to Ireland together and later went to North Africa where, according to letters received by their families, they were "pals" and members of the same gun crew. They were both privates first class.
Born in Winona
Private Goven, 25, was born in Winona on July 20, 1918, and was graduated from Winona High School with the class of 1938. He is survived by his parents, and one sister, Marguerite. He was engaged to Miss Florence Kierlin, 452 East Fourth Street.
Memorial services, with requiem mass, will be held for him at St. Stanislaus Church at 8 a.m. Thursday, with the Rev. Joseph Cieminski officiating.
Private Greenwood, 25, was born at Pickwick December 9, 1918, and spent the greater part of his life in that village. He has two brothers in service.
He was the third child of a family of seven and is survived by his parents; three sisters, Mrs. Howard Pappenfuss, La Crescent; Mrs. Jerrold Harvey, Savanna, Ill., and Tina May at home, and three brothers, Corporal Marvin R. Greenwood, Buckley Field, Denver, Colo.; Private Harley Greenwood, army aviation corps, and LeRoy, at home.
Private Goven was a member of the city selective group that left April 14, 1941, and Private Greenwood was a member of the county board group that left at the same time. Both youths were guests of the American Legion at a noon luncheon at the Hotel Winona and left for Fort Snelling on an afternoon train.
