Brown Raymond 430219 p1
Killed in Action in South Seas; Death of First Local Boy Serving with Army Forces; The third gold star to appear on
Patterson's service flag -- and the first for an Army man killed in action, is reported this week as news is received of the
death of Raymond Brown, 34, reported killed in action in the South Seas on January 20th. The message from the War
Department was received by his mother, Mrs. Donald Dunn, of Junction City, Oregon. Whereabouts  of his father, Ed
Brown, is being sought. Brown was employed by the Western Manganese Company for about two years in their Del
Puerto Canyon operations, working both in the mine and as a truck driver. His father was also employed there, but has
since left. Raymond enlisted in the Army in March and was sent to Hawaii for training. His death followed close after his
arrival in the battle zone as word had been received from him in Hawaii at Christmas time.
