Brother Of BIuftOn
Man Killed In Pacific

ROLAND K. Farnsworth, 26, fire
controlman first class on the u. S.
destroyer Cooper" was killed in ac-
tion at 0rmoc Bay, Leyte, Philippine
islands the night of December 3, ac-
cording to information received here
last week by his brother, Franklin
Farnsworth, an employe of The Trip
lett Electrical Instrument Co.
The Bluffton man is the husband
of the former Mary Alice Geiger,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Millen c..
Geiger of South Lawn avenue.
ROLAND Farnsworth was the only
living relative of the Bluffton man
and Joined the Navy in June, 1887.
The ship to which he was assigned
was torpedoed off Algiers in that in
vasion and later off Gibraltar.
He was reported missing in aetion
last December 27, and notification of
his death was received Wednesday
of last week.
The q. S. S. Cooper went down
fighting in Ormoc Bay at 1917 a. m.
on December 8 when the 2,200-ton
destroyer was hit by a torpedo or
struck a mine.
The ship broke in half and sank
in 36 seconds, and with her went 161
men and officers. In the IA minutes
before she was hit, however, the
Cooper had sunk two enemy trans
port ships crammed with troops and
shot down two of the many japanese
dive bombers.
Of the ships complement 168 Off
GERS and men survived after brave
struggle in the water for 15 hours.
1t was the first time the destroyer
had been in action, but in the short
Ia minutes of its attack on large
japanese convoy attempting to land
troops the ship did its part well.

the admiral ordered the daily allow
ance diluted with quart of water
and six hours of time--serving 1t in
two installments, one at IL a. m. and
the other at four p. m.
Although the stomachs may have
appreciated this change, the sailors
didn't and they referred contemptu-
ously to their daily ration of liquor
as "grog," after "Old Grog" who
had ordered it.
Among Admiral vernon's numer-
Gus friends and admirers in the
American colonies was Lawrence
Washington, who named his estate on
the banks of the Potomac in Vir-
ginia Mt. Vernon. When he died Mt.
Vernon became the property of his
half-brother, George Washington.
