Clarence LaDuke -1943

A Requiem High Mass will be celebrated in St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bagley Saturday, March 13th, at 9 a.m. for Pvt. Clarence LaDuke, who was killed February 11th in North Africa. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip LaDuke of Ebro.
An official letter from the Wat Department to the parents confirmed the earlier report by telegram. However, full details of the death could not be revealed by the War Department at this time and will be given to the parents later. Clarence was a member of the signal corps.
A letter from the Catholic chaplain to the parents informed them that their son had been buried at the post, presumably in French North Africa. The chaplain stated that his brother, Russell LaDuke, also with the armed forces in North Africa, had attended the burial rites. The body cannot be returned to this country until after the war, the letter from the War Department stated.
Besides his parents and brother Russell, Clarence is survived by six sisters: Gladys of Minneapolis, Merilla (Mrs. Paulson) of Weme, Frances, Philis, Margaret, and Joan at home, and one brother, Harold, now employed in Minneapolis but awaiting a call from the Army Corps in which he recently enlisted.
