FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR SGT. LADDIE CARY HERE THURSDAY

Sgt. Curtis Swanson Accompanied Body to Malvern
            Funeral services for T/Sgt. Laddie Cary, 28, who was killed in action in Germany, March 15, 1945, were held at the Mansfield Funeral home in Malvern Nov. 13. His body arrived in Malvern Nov. 12, accompanied by T/Sgt. Curtis Swanson of Kansas City, Mo.
            Services were conducted by the Rev. E. B. Maxey of Glenwood, a former Methodist minister, and a close friend of the deceased.
            Mrs. Paul Forrestal of Macedonia rendered two solos. Pall bearers were John and Chester Cary, Vernon Crouse, Sr., Vernon Crouse, Jr., Wayne Simmonds and Paul Forrestal.
            Laddie Cary, youngest son of Pearl and Katie Cary, was born Oct. 14, 1917 near Hastings and was killed in action March 15, 1945 in Germany.
            He went with his parents to a ranch near Inman, Neb., in 1927. He enlisted in the army Feb. 20, 1942 and took training at Ft. Warren, Wyo. He spent several training periods at other camps and went across to Europe Aug. 2, 1944.
            After the Battle of the Bulge he was made a technical sergeant and was in the line of active duty until he made the supreme sacrifice for his country.
            His body was laid away at Henri Chapelle cemetery in Belgium and was included in the first consignment of bodies brought back to the United States.
            Laddie was strong, energetic and always gave his full measure of help at any task given him at the farm home or in the duties of a soldier.
            He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Cary, of Inman, Neb.; two brothers, Chester of Red Oak and John of Henderson; two sisters, Mrs. Mina Crouse of Hastings and Mrs. Mary Hartigan of Inman, Neb., and a host of friends. His body was laid to rest in the Henderson cemetery.
            Thomas J. Monihan of Omaha, commanding officer of Laddie’s division, attended the funeral.
