NOTE: I think his correct name is Benton Wilson Beall, and only the Navy listed him as Bentone. Otherwise the parents and home town match up.
Service Number 3363937
His MIA status, died in combat suggests his actual death date was not Dec 1945 as the war was over. His real date of death may have been much earlier with Dec 1945 as a "fill in date"

Before the was he was on the USS Isabel PY-10 in China. The Isabel was at Cavite Bay in the Philippines when the Japanese invaded . She escorted US submarines through the minefields of Corregidor.
