[OWENS, CARL LEROY]
[OWENS, CARL LEROY] The letter read: He was serving on board the USS LST-348, when that vessel, while en route from Niside, Italy to Anzio, Italy, received two violent underwater explosions and sank. The order to abandon ship was given immediately and those who survived were later rescued by another vessel. Extensive searches were made of the area, but no trace of your son could be found. None of the personnel missing from this action has been reported as prisoners of war. Weather conditions during this time included a calm sea and good visibility. In view of the length of time that has elapsed without any indication that your son survived, I am reluctantly forced to the conclusion that he is deceased. The date of the death of your son is presumed to be February 21, 1945 which is day following the expiration of twelve months in the missing statistics.

[PEVE, JOANNE CORWIN] Nodaway County Sheriff John Middleton said the woman apparently was shot in the back of the neck with a shotgun as she was doing laundry in her basement. Sheriff's officers and special investigators of the State Patrol have been searching for clues to the killing, but they say they have no suspects thus far in the investigation and that no weapon was found at the scene. Nodaway County Coroner Dr. Robert E. Dunshee ruled the death a homicide and said the killing occurred sometime between 8:30 and 9:40 p. m. Tuesday. The body was discovered shortly afterward when her husband, Pete Peve, Jr., returned home from a meeting in Maryville. Peve operates a large farm there while Mrs. Peve was employed at Mutti Hardware, Hopkins. Two daughters of the home reportedly were attending a basketball tournament in Sheridan that night. Lawmen said it was the county's first homicide of this nature in several years. The last homicide occurred in May 1967, in Maryville when a married couple died in a murder-suicide incident.
