Two Manitowoc County soldiers reported missing in action in the Philippines three years ago have now been officially listed as dead. They are: Pvt. Gardy J. Havlicheck, 25, of Branch; Pvt. John Francis Murphy, 19, of Grimms.
Another county man was also reported killed on Okinawa in a message to the parents from the War Dept. He is Cpl. Sylvester R. Koerner, 23, route 1, Cato.
The three additional deaths reported today brings the number of Manitowoc soldiers killed in World War II to 156.
Pvt. Havlichek, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Havlichek of Branch had previously been reported as missing in action since May 7, 1942. The War Dept. message received Wednesday confirmed the fact that he died in action on July 5, 1942 in the Philippine Islands.
Born November 27, 1919 at Branch, young Havlichek had attended the Branch grade school and the St. Ann Parochial School at Francis Creek. He worked on the father's farm for a short while and then joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. On January 29, 1941 he enlisted in the U.S. Army being assigned to the medical department of the Philippine detachment at Fort McDowell, California.
He leaves his parents, one brother, Melvin and three sisters, Bernice, LaVerne and Germaine, all at home.
A high mass for the repose of his soul will be offered up at 8 pm on Friday, July 6 at St. Anne's Church at Francis Creek.
