THROCKMORTON COUNTY WORLD WAR II INDUCTEES By Patti Pattillo The following newspaper clipping was found in my grandmother's trunk, (Grace Garner Walker).There is no exact date as to when it was published,or which newspaper it was taken from,as she subscribed to both Breckenridge and Throckmorton newspapers. Headline: "TO BE INDUCTED" Fifty-seven men are included in Throckmorton county's group to be inducted into the army on Tuesday,July 14. This is by far the largest number to be called at one time to date,and even this number does not entirely fill the county's quota,which is 66 men. However,members of the local board believe the quota will be filled when reports are received from enlistment centers by those who have volunteered in advance of the call. Following is a list of the men who will be called into service next Tuesday,as announced by the local board: JAMES DAVID HARPER,Throckmorton JOHN FRANKLIN BLAIR,Throckmorton LEONARD DONALD THOMPSON,Throckmorton JOHN B.MARTIN,Throckmorton BERNICE HAROLD BRANTLEY,Woodson WILLIAM ASA COHRAN,Throckmorton RAY FOX,Woodson ALVIA LEE HUGHES,Springcreek JACK WASHINGTON INGRAM,Austin THERON RAY HIBBITTS,Throckmorton WILLIAM GLENN COOPER,Throckmorton OLTON ARON NOLES,Throckmorton VASSAR OWEN HETHCOCK,Throckmorton VERNON HOMER GUNN,Stephenville JACKIE GALE WALKER,Woodson DAVID BRYAN THOMPSON,Lusk CURTIS LEON WELLS,Woodson HENRY COLLINS EVERETT,Throckmorton RUSSELL BUNYON PERRY,JR.,Throckmorton CARL MURRY CALLAHAN,Springcreek LELAND BROWN WRIGHT,Miami,Arizona WILLARD CURTIS MCGOUGH,Breckenridge CARLTON WILLIAM KING,Throckmorton JAMES HENRY WOODS,Throckmorton GILMER EDWARD HUGHES,Woodson HORTON WALKER,Lusk JAMES HOMER SIMS,JR.,Throckmorton LEM SIDNEY IVY,Throckmorton LEO CLYDE RAMSEY,Elbert LUTHER WADE ROWLAND,Throckmorton GARLAND WILLIS STOKER,Woodson JOHN HARRISON BANKS,Throckmorton R.V.FORREST,Woodson JOHN HARRISON BANKS,Throckmorton SAMMY SCOTT GUTHRIDGE,Abilene ROBERT ANDERSON HETHCOCK,Throckmorton JAMES LESTER ATKINSON,Miami,Arizona OSCAR VERNON CONDRON,Throckmorton JOHN WILLIAM DAWS,Woodson WILLIAM CLINGMAN HARLOW,Paris KENNETH TRUETT THOMPSON,Elbert JAMES OLIVER BURGESS,Throckmorton HOYT LEON HUFFMAN,Throckmorton WILLIAM RAYMOND TRENTHAM,Woodson QUIEN BERRY COGBURN,Throckmorton REVIS EUGENE SORGEE,Elbert LAWRENCE BENJAMIN SIMPSON,Throckmorton WILLIAM ALBERT JONES,Woodson HOLLIS HARRINGTON,Throckmorton WALTER ALBERT WILLIAMS,Elbert EARNEST W.WILKINSON,Elbert JOE BAILEY EWING,Woodson CLOVIS HOMER MOODY,Throckmorton HERBERT C.JARMON,Abilene WAYLAND QUITMAN NOLES,Throckmorton FRANCIS MARION GRAY,Ft.Worth EARL LEE BATES,Woodson
