    • Obituary:

      Cpl. Joseph M. Crnkovic of the United States marine corps was killed in action while on overseas duty. His family received a wire from the war department July 23, but his death occurred June 15 on Saipan, Marianna Island group. He also fought in the battle of Tawara and others. He received his basic training in San Diego, Calif., from where he left for overseas duty August 1942. When he left for his examination he didn't get 21 days off like others. After his training he left for overseas and never got a furlough. He is survived by his parents; six brothers, Pfc. Steve, Pfc. Johnny, Frank, Pete, Donald and Wilburn (Mickey) Crnkovic. Cpl Crnkovic graduated from Zwolle high school in 1940 and was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic church, Zwolle. Their hearts are sad for the one they loved so well. Cpl. Crnkovic has two brothers in the service: Pfc. Steve Crnkovic, stationed in Greenwood, Miss., who is home on pass to see his parents, Pfc. Johnny Crnkovic, stationed at Hattisburg, Miss, now home on leave.
