      " . . . Mr. Bee, as he was affectionately called by his students, lived a life full of great stories - the archetype of The Greatest Generation. He spent his early years in service. From his B-17 bomber training, to being shot down over enemy territory, to his months spent in German held territory as a prisoner of war - cold, starving and trading Red Cross chocolate for bread on P.O.W. marches, his service experience provided much material for the stories that he would recall throughout his life. . . ."
    • 17 Jun 2013 email from John Everett,
      " I knew Bob and am trying to remember the circumstances. I found his obituary and it confirms he went to OSU as I did. I am trying to remember if he was a member of my fraternity or a member of my Naval Air Reserve Unit at NAS Columbus. I think the latter. I can picture him in his enlisted dungarees. Even though I have not seen him since about 1950, I am sure the photo is him. It is not mentioned in his obituary but I distinctly remember his describing being shot down in a B-17, although I remember it being a B-24. He was on his second bombing mission over Germany and was a gunner on the plane. When they were hit, they were ordered to bail out which he did. He told us he landed near a farm and some farmers surrounded him brandishing pitchforks and hoes and hand shovels. He was armed with a Colt 45 and kept the people away from him with that. He saw a truck coming in the distance that upon arrival dispatched a squad of soldiers. He put his hands up still holding the 45 untl the soldiers took it away. They then took him to a prison camp."

    • "Military Services Will Be Held Here Friday For PFC. William A. Black, Killed In Germany," The Franklin (Ohio) Chronicle, June 9, 1949.
      "Military Services in charge of Russell McElfresh Post of the American Legion will be held at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Unglesby Funeral Home for PFC. William A. Black, who was reported missing in action in Germany on April 1, 1945. The Rev. William J. Hannum, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, will officiate and burial will be made in Woodhill Cemetery here. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Black, of Franklin.
      " PFC. Black was a bugler with the United States Army, but for seventeen months prior to his death had served as a messenger, with a combat engineer battalion. It was while he was acting as a motorcycle messenger that he lost his life from enemy gunfire at Kleinenburg, Germany, on April 1, 1945. His parents were notified of his death on April 20 of the same year.
      "While attending Franklin HIgh School, PFC. Black was a member of the band and applied his talent to become a bugler in the army. Following his graduation in 1940, he was employed for two years at the Wright Aeronautical plant prior to his induction in 1942. He trained for a year at Camp Carson, Colorado, before going overseas in 1943. When a small child, he was baptized in the First Presbyterian Church at Franklin.

      "The family will receive friends at the funeral home after two o'clock this afternoon."

      " A fuller realization of the war task that lies ahead was brought to the community on the eve of V-E Day with the reported death in the Pacific of Lt. (j.g.) Thomas N. Bridge, 23, younger son of Mr. and Mr. Adam E. Bridge, of 303 Elm Street.
      "A War Department telegram received Monday afternoon by the family stated that Lt. Bridge had died of wounds receive in action but revealed no further details. It was known that he had been serving aboard a destroyer in the Pacific and had taken part in several major engagements.
      Tom Bridge was well known throughout the community. He attended the Franklin Public Schools, graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and from Harvard University in the Class of 1943. For scholastic and extra-curricular achievements, he was awarded the Princeton Cup at Exeter as the outstanding member of his graduating class, and was chosen as class orator at the Harvard commencement two years ago.
      "Enrolled in the Naval V-12 program at Harvard, he was one of the twelve highest ranking seniors in the university's ROTC unit and in October, 1943, received two awards, the first for general excellence in Naval ROTC training and the second for proficiency in infantry and leadership.
      Bridge received his commission as an Ensign in the Navy a year ago last October and left the States in MArch, 1944. His entire active service was spent in the PAcific where he was recently advanced to the rank of Lieutenant (j.g.)
      "In addition to his parents, Lt. Bridge is survived by two sisters, Alma and Nancy, and an older brother, M/Sgt. Charles A. Bridge, serving with the American Army in Europe and last heard from in Luxembourg."
    • "Bodies Of Two More Pacific Casualties Are Laid To Rest In Local Cemeteries," The Franklin (Ohio) Chronicle, February 10, 1949.
      " Services were held here during the past week for two more casualties of World War II, Lt. (j.g.) Thomas N. Bridge and Technician Fourth Grade Cliff Rider, both of whom died April 16, 1945, while serving with American Armed Forces in the Pacific.
      "Graveside services were held on Saturday at Woodhill Cemetery for Lt. Bridge, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam E. Bridge, of Elm Street. Young Bridge, who was 23 years of age at the time of his death four years ago this spring, left the States in March, 1944, and served during the next thirteen months in the Pacific Area. He was aboard a destroyer at the time he suffered wounds in action that resulted in his death.
      "Services here lat Saturday were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. William J. Hannum, of the First Presbyterian Church.
      "He was a Graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University and is survived by his parents, one brother and two sisters. . . ."

      "The telegram received by Mrs. Hetzler Wednesday morning read: "The Navy Department deeply regrets to inform you that your son , Melvin Bruce, F 2/c is missing in action in the performance of his duty in the service of his country.  Details are not now available"
      "The lad's father, Corp. John Bruce, is serving in the Army and is now on maneuvers in Louisiana.  His paternal grandmother, Mrs. Martha Bruce, resides on Allen Street."

      "Bruce, Cecil Melvin, Fireman 1c, USNR. Mother, Mrs. Mayme Bruce Hetzler, 527 Anderson St., Franklin."
    • 26 Jan 2011 Bob Croll email:
      "I was in the sixth grade in 1939, and one of my classmates was Cecil Melvin BRUCE, who lived with his Paternal Grandmother, Martha BRUCE, in the basement of 527 Anderson Street, Franklin, Warren, OH. His Mother was Mrs. Henry (Mayme) HETZLER. They were our milk customers, and I used to collect for my Grandfather, George Croll, who owned the Miamiview Dairy. Cecil did not like his first name and always went by Melvin. He was a prankster, and seemed to always be in trouble with our teacher, Grace L. Klever.

      World War II was brewing, and Melvin joined the Navy by lying about his age. He never graduated from the sixth grade. His Father: Staff Sgt. John H. BRUCE USA, was missing in action, and I suspect this was his motivation for volunteering. Melvin came back to school on leave, in uniform, and told us all about his assignment to a motor torpedo boat squadron. He said the decks were covered in cork to absorb the extremely rough ride. Melvin was promoted to fireman Ist class and assigned to the USS Beatty when America entered the war.

      Melvin was killed 6 Nov 1943, when his ship was sunk off the coast of Algeria. He was the first one of my Classmates to be killed in WWII. I graduated from Franklin High School, Class of 1945, and was drafted shortly thereafter. I was sent by bus to Fort Hayes in Columbus, Franklin, OH, and then by train to Camp Atterbury, Indiana, where I was rejected for somnambulism, and I had to get a dictionary to determine what was wrong with me. There were 66 people in our graduating class, and at least 35 have now joined Melvin, 66 years later.
