ROBERT CURRIN KILLED IN FRANCE

Had Been Reported Missing In Action Since Nov. 18

Wars grim tragedy was brought home again to Payette Monday when an official war 
department telegram was received by Mrs. Fern Currin, stating that her husband, 
Robert C. Currin had been killed in action in France in December.

As usual the telegram gave no details but stated that a letter would follow.

On Dec. 10, Mrs. Currin received notification that her husband was reported 
missing in action in France since Nov. 18.  She and other relatives therefore 
had been hopefully waiting since that time, but no word came during the long 
weeks until the telegram Monday.

Robert, who was born at the family home on Willow Creek was 23 last April 16.  
He graduated from Payette high school with the class of 1939 and was married to 
Miss Fern Johnson April 21, 1943.  They farmed on Willow Creek until he was 
called into service on April 27, 1944.  After receiving his basic training he 
was sent overseas last September, with an infantry division.  He was 
transferred later to another unit, and it was with the latter, he was serving 
when he was reported missing in action.

Besides his wife he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde A. Currin of 
Willow Creek and two sisters, Mrs. G. L. Sires of Portland and Mrs. Clifford 
Hansen, Payette.
