"Some time ago, Pfc. G.Clyde Woodward, of 634 Olive street, 
was reported missing in action. The word now comes to his 
wife, Mrs. Arlene F. Woodward, that her husband,27, was 
officially listed as killed, in the Italian operations. He 
had been missing since November 2nd.

  Mrs. Woodward has also received a letter from a soldier 
who was with Pfc.Woodward, which explained that a group of 
American soldiers were crossing a river in Italy on their 
way back from the front, and that Pfc. Woodward fell into 
the water when he lost his hold on a rope being used in 
crossing, and was swept down stream.

 Pfc.Woodward was a member of the firm of Detterline & 
Woodward, who operated the D&W food market on Lincoln 
Highway at Pensylvania avenue. He is survived besides his 
wife, his mother,Mrs. Jennie Woodward, of Compass. His 
father lost his life at the mills here during World War I 
in an accident."
