Mrs. Christensen
Hears How Nephew
Lost Life, France

Mrs. Steve Christensen received
word this week that her nephew.
1t. Henry Gillespie of Coleman
Texas, reported missing in action
since June II, 1914. has now been
officially listed as dead. The young
serviceman took much of his train
ing at Thunderbird Field, Mariana
Air Base, and received his wings at
Luke Field. He was in Arizona
approximately a year before going
overseas and made many friends
In Coolidge during his weekends at
the Christensen ranch.
The official notification to his
family states; "The record con-
corning 1t. Henry Gillespie shows
that the P-38 Lightning" aircraft
in which he was pilot and sole oc-
cupant, was last seen when it dived
into the overcast after it had been
damaged in an engagement with
enemy aircraft. This occurred in
the vicinity of Evreaux, France,
while he was participating in a
dive bombing mission. In view of
the fact that twelve months have
now expired without the receipt
of evidence to support a continued
presumption of survival, the War
Department must terminate such
absence by presumptive finding
of death. Accordingly, an official
finding of death has been recorded
under the provisions of Public Law
490, 18th Congress" 1t. Gillespie
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Gillespie of Coleman County, Texas.
His wife resides in Ell Paso.

Whereas the Great Ruler of
heaven and earth has in his in
finite wisdom removed from
among our worthy and esteemed
fellow laborer, Mrs. w. IA. Gray
and whereas, the long education
al relation held with her as an
educator in the discharge of her

ting that we record our highest
appreciation OF her; therefore:
Resolved. that the wisdom and
ability which she has exercised
in aid of her race by actual ser
vices rendered, will be held in
grateful remembrance.
Resolved that a removal Of such

a vacancy and shadow deeply
realized by all relatives and
friends and will prove a serious
loss to the community and public.
Resolved, that with deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the
deceased, We express our hope
\ that even so great loss to US
may be oyerruled for good by him
who doeth all things well.
