Sgt. Henry E. Brew, 20 year old son of Alouis O. and Agnes Brew, colored, of
Winnfield, was killed in Korea on Oct. 24, according to a War Department
telegram received by his parents Wednesday.

Sgt. Brew had been in Korea 10 months, following his re-enlistment into the
Army in September, 1950.  He was a company cook in the Second Division.  Brew
enlisted first in the Army when he was 17 years old and served a term before
re-enlisting last year.  He received his cooking training in Kentucky.

Previous to enlisting in the Army, Brew worked at Owen's Barber Shop in
Winnfield.

His mother received a letter from him the day before the telegram arrived
and written two days before his death.

Survivors are his parents, four brothers, Joseph, Ferguson, Mayo, and Ernest;
one sister, Lavelle, all of Winnfield.
