A list of the names of those veterans from the City of Cairo and
Alexander County who lost their lives while in the service of their country
during World War II has been compiled from available records.
These
names will be placed on the War Memorial to be erected in Candee Park, at
the intersection of Washington Avenue, Elm and Twenty-fifth Streets, as soon
as delivery can be made by the contractor. It is hoped the delivery date
will be within the next few months.
The memorial is sponsored by the
Cairo Junior Woman's Club and is to honor everyone from Cairo and the County
who served in World War II; however, only the names of those who paid the
supreme sacrifice will appear on the memorial.
The dates as listed
will not appear on the memorial; they are being shown at this time to
properly determine the correct placing of the veteran's name as it is
planned to list the names according to the date each veteran met his death
while in service from 1941 through 1945.
If there are any omissions,
corrections as to spelling, dates of death, etc., it is requested that one
of the following be notified in writing on or before June 1, 1946 in order
that the correction may be made: The Cairo Evening Citizen Office, Cairo,
Illinois, Mrs. C. J. Walston, 1802 Popular Street, Cairo, Illinois
Mrs.
J. M. Looney, 1401 Washington Avenue, Cairo, Illinois
Unless notified
to the contrary, the names as shown here will appear in that order on the
memorial.
