(Poog) Salter, Sabine Parish S-436 Source: Sabine Index, Many, La., Sep 24, 1943 Submitted by: Tammy Larche-Smith tammy@cp-tel.net The Sabine Index - William C. (Poog) Salter 24 Sep 1943 - Pvt. William C. (Poog) Salter, above, age 26 years, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Salter of Florien. He was inducted into the army on May 18, 1943, and received his basic training at Camp Shelby, Miss. From there he was sent to Monterey, Calif., where he remained a short time before being sent overseas. It was later learned that he was in the South Pacific war zone. Poog was a graduate of Florien high school. He was known throughout the state as an outstanding basketball player. Win or lose, he always retained the smile that he always met his friends with. The message from the was department stated that he had been killed on July 19. It was only 19 days after the date of his last letter to his parents. At that writing Poog described busy days ahead. We hope some day to know more of the things that happened during this time. We feel doubly sure that he met whatever the task or danger might be with courage and grim determination to win. Poog was awarded the Purple Heart for military merit and for wounds received in action resulting in his death on July 19, 1943. So somewhere beneath a simple cross on a battlefront island graveyard lies the body of another hero. There among his buddies who had shared his troubles and hardships and he theirs. Besides being a soldier, who gave his life that we might continue to live in freedom, he was a devoted Christian. He united with the Antioch Baptist church at an early age and was very active in all church functions. In private life Poog was a successful farmer. He operated a general farm for his father who has been in ill health for several years. Poog was always on the job to render aid without complaint. Besides his parents he leaves four brothers: P. R. Salter, Jasper, Texas; J. F. Salter, Tyler, Texas; Howard Salter, Florien; Sgt. Woodrow Salter of the army air force. With his family is a host of friends and relatives to mourn this hero's death. ***************************************************************** Obituaries: Mrs. Thelma Gray Talton, Sabine Parish T-435 Source: Sabine Index, Many, La., Sep 24, 1943 Submitted by: Tammy Larche-Smith tammy@cp-tel.net The Sabine Index - Mrs. Thelma Gray Talton 24 Sep 1943 - Funeral services for Mrs. Thelma Gray Talton, age 47 years, who died Tuesday, Sept. 14, at a Shreveport sanitarium, five days after a major operation, were held Wednesday, Sept. 15, from the Sibley Methodist church with the pastor officiating.
