Fuller Tulley, to whom he was married Nov 21, 1942 in Utica. Mrs. Tulley has been associated with the insurance office here of Ward L. Howard for some ten years.

No further details were given in the Adjutant General's message but it was stated that when received such information would be immediately forthcoming.
