bachelor's degree in education in June 1941.
Last January, Henry Cake enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve and was sent to 
Northwestern University for training, being commissioned an ensign upon c
completion of the course. He was assigned to a ship last June, and was seen l
last by his family on June 13, when his ship sailed from here. He was u
unmarried, and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Norfolk.
Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. A. B. Davies, Jr., of 
Clifton Forge, and Miss Frances Cake, of Rock Hill S. C.; two brothers, Richard D
