Military Rites For Sergt. Hoose
Body Will Arrive Here Friday, Announced
Military funeral rites for S-Sgt. William L. Hoose, 25-year-old Owosso soldier killed by a Jap sniper's bullet on Kwajalein Island just after dawn the morning of February 5, 1944, will be held at the Jennings-Lyons Chapel Saturday at 1:30 p.m., with Crawford-Arnold Post 419 of the American Legion in charge. Sergeant Hoose's body is expected to arrive here from Chicago Friday with a military escort. A firing squad from Company I and buglers from Post 57 will assist. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery, and the body is to rest at the Chapel. Born in Owosso May 17, 1918, son of Clarence and Bertha Hoose, the young man entered the Army from here in September, 1941, and after training and service in the United States was sent overseas in 1943. It was in the course of a dawn reconnaissance patrol with a small party of comrades, during the clean-up of Kwajalein Island shortly after the initial assault there, that Sergeant Hoose was felled by the shot of a Japanese sniper. Hoose was graduated from Owosso High School here in 1936, and worked here from that time until his entry into service, first at the Corunna Manufacturing Company and later for the Owosso Manufacturing Company. Surviving are his parents, a brother, Floyd, of Lainsburg, and four sisters, Mrs. Flossie Tompkins, Mrs. Evelene Van Ecckhautte and Mrs. Doris Savage of Owosso and Miss Irene Hoose of Flint.
