Cletus Eisenmenger Killed in Action
Anthon relatives were informed last week that S/Sgt. Cletus J. Eisenmenger, 22 years old, had been killed in action in France.
Following is the message received by Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Eisenmenger of Cherokee: the secretary of war desires me to express his deep regret that your son, Staff Sergeant Cletus J. Eisenmenger, was killed in action January 25, 1945, in France. Confirming letter follows. (signed) The Adjutant General.
Cletus' early youth was spent around Anthon until the family moved to Cherokee ten years ago. He was inducted into the service at Camp Dodge, Iowa, December 3, 1942, and received his basic training at Camp Claiborne, La. After further training at Camp Howze, Texas, he was sent overseas in October 1944. He landed in France in November 1944 where he served in an infantry division as part of the 7th Army.
Teresa Eisenmenger, an aunt of the youthful victim, has received a letter from his brother, S/Sgt. Joseph Eisenmenger, also stationed in France, in which he refers to his brother's death. The two lads were inducted together, received their training at the same camps and were sent overseas at the same time.
