Headline:  Capt. Hall's Brother Dies Aboard Ship En Route to China

News was received by his parents in Hattiesburg, Miss., on last Saturday 
telling of the death of Lieutenant R. S. Hall, Jr., a brother of Captain 
Stanley A. Hall, commanding officer of the Civilian Conservation Camp at Camp 
Swan, near Jena.

Lieut. Hall's death was considered very mysterious.  He is reported to have 
been lost overboard the Gunboat Isabella enroute to Hong Kong, China.  An 
investigation of the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death is being 
conducted by the government.

Capt. Hall left here Sunday for Hattiesburg to be with his parents during 
their bereavement, but returned to Jena on Tuesday of this week.
