  • “Marine Casualty Is Buried Here Yesterday; Body of Springboro Man En Route Home,” Franklin (Ohio) Chronicle, Thursday, January 20, 1949.
    "The body of a Franklin Marine, who died of wounds suffered in action on Iwo Jima fours years ago this spring, was returned for final burial in Woodhill Cemetery yesterday, and at the same time a Springboro family learned that their son, also killed in action in the South Pacific four years ago, was en route home for burial.
    Services here yesterday were for Marine Corporal Nathan B. Hollon who died March 10, 1945, in a base hospital in the Marianas where he was recovering from wounds received in the successful but costly Iwo Jima action six weeks earlier. The services, conducted by the Rev. H. S. Gessner, were held from the First Baptist Church with burial being made in Woodhill Cemetery. The Eaton Funeral Home had charge of arrangements and military services were conducted by Russell McElfresh Post of the American Legion.
    Cpl. Hollon, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Holllon, of Franklin, was but 20 years of age at the time of his death. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in August, 1942, and trained at Parris Island, New River and Camp Pendleton before leaving for the South Pacific in January, 1944. He participated in the Marshall Islands invasion and also took part in the Saipan and Tinian campaigns for which he received the Presidential Unit Citation awarded the Fourth Marine Division.
    Young Hollon attended Franklin High School and at the time of his enlistment was employed by the Jeffery Grocery on South Main Street.
    Surviving are his parents; three brothers, Earl, John Jr., and Gordon Lee; and three sisters, Marilyn, Laura Lou and Joyce Ann.
    Body En Route Home.
    Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Rider, of near Springboro, received word from the War Department that the body of their son, Cliff Rider, Technician Fourth Grade, is en route home for final burial. Rider was killed in action April 16, 1945, on the Rjukyu Letto Islands.
    Funeral services will be held locally in charge of the Unglesby Funeral Home, of Franklin, but arrangements are still incomplete and definite announcement will be made later.
    Rider attended the Springboro schools and enlisted November 7, 1942, embarking for the South Pacific from Seattle on August 14, 1944. As a member of a tank battalion, he took part in the invasions of Leyette and Okinawa. He was a member of the Eagles Lodge of Franklin.
    Surviving are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Rider, who reside on a farm south of Springboro; two brothers Eugene and William Rider, or R. R. 1, Franklin; and two sisters, Mrs. Alice Chilton, of Miami Shores, and Mrs. Eva Brety, of Dayton"
  • "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. . . .
    "Last Rites Monday
    " Services for Rider were held on Monday afternoon from the Unglesby Funeral Home, conducted by the Rev. H. S. Gessner, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Burial was made in the Springboro Cemetery. Rider was killed in action as a member of a tank battalion on the Rjukyu Letto Islands April 16, 1945.
    "Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Rider, of near Springboro; two brothers and two sisters.
    "The Unglesby Funearl Home of Franklin had charge of arrangement for both services."
