PITTSBURGH DISTRICT DEATH TOLL IN HAWAII RISES TO 3
The Pittsburgh district death toll in the surprise bombing of Hawaii rose today to three men as the War Department announced additional soldier casualties.
The local casualties so far reported by the War Department are:
STAFF SERGEANT JOSEPH E. GOOD, 24, of 1039 Woods Run Ave., North Side.
News of Sergeant Good's death came to his widowed mother, Mrs. Ellen Good, at her home last night in a telegram from the War Department--just a week after she had received a letter from him.
The letter said that it looked "like we will be here (in Hawaii) for awhile" and ended with a hurried note: "I hear the blackout signal is going to sound soon so I must say aloha."
The letter, written on Thanksgiving, indicated that blackout drills against possible air raids were being held in Hawaii.
Sergeant Good was a member of the 72nd Pursuit Squadron. He enlisted in June, 1939. He was a 1935 graduate of Oliver High School and previously was a CCC enrollee and an employee of the Pittsburgh Screw & Bolt Co. (article edited to include mention of this soldier only)
