Army Service No. (ASN): 38358774
Private First-Class Jose Angel Adame, born 21 Dec 1921, was the son of Jose P and Virginia (Arriola) Adame of Alice, Jim Wells County, Texas. Alice is in south Texas 43 miles due west of Corpus Christi.
Jose's father died sometime before the 1930 census. In the 1930 census 8-year-old Jose is living with his widowed mother and siblings Norberto 18, Reyes 11, and Francesca 6 in Alice. His mother works in a private home. Brother Norberto does yard work. Jose had a sister, Juanita, who was two years old in the 1920 census and should have been 12 in the 1930 census but was not listed in the household. I did not find what happened to Juanita or Jose's father.
Jose's brother Reyes died in 1936 at age 17 of pulmonary tuberculosis.
In the 1940 census 18-year-old Joe is living with his widowed mother and sister Francesca 15, on Monterrey Street in Alice. His mother does laundry in a private home. Joe is a laborer for a bridge building and reforestation project. Francesca is a housekeeper in a private home.
In December of 1944 the command post of the 102nd Infantry Division was 1000 yards southeast of Ubach in the Rhineland. Ubach is just inside Germany 11 miles north of Aachen.
In late November the 84th Infantry Division and 102nd Infantry Division had achieved the main objectives of Operation Clipper, removing the threat of a counterattack on the flank of XIII Corps and clearing enough area for the Ninth Army to assemble and launch its major offensive to the Roer River. Both of these had been achieved with the capture of Geilenkirchen, Prummern, and the other fortified villages in the area. Geilenkirchen was 4.3 miles north of Ubach. By the end of the first week of December, three of the four attacking corps of the First and Ninth Armies had planted their standards on the west bank of the Roer River.
The NARA WWII casualty listings by state and county for Texas show Adame, Joseph A, Pfc from Jim Wells County as killed in action 7 Dec 1944 so we can assume he was killed somewhere around the Roer River just west or northwest of Julich.
