Cpl. W. D. Harris Killed in Korea, 
Parent Notified

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harris, 2829 Bossereau Pl., were notified Tuesday that 
their son, Marine Cpl. Weldon Darwood Harris, 19, was killed in action in 
Korea Sept. 25.

Cpl. Harris was serving with the First Marine Division at the time of his 
death. He had served two years on Guam and returned home recently on a 
furlough which was cut short by the outbreak of fighting in Korea.

The Dallas Marine is survived by his parents, two brothers, Charles and 
Kenneth Allen, and his grandparents, Mrs. Effie Bonner of Corsicana and Mr. 
and Mrs. H. I. Singleton of Eureka.

Cpl Harris, a member of the Methodist Church of Eureka, attended Mildred 
High School at Mildred, Tex., and Crozier Technical High School in Dallas.

[I believe this is from the Corsicana newspaper.  Mr. & Mrs. H. I. Singleton 
are Carrie Mae Grantham (b. 1888) and Herchal Icas Singleton (1886-1954). The 
Effie Bonner is unknown.  The Korean War was fought between 1950 and 1953.]
