Mrs. Frances M. Bowling, High street, received notification from the War

Theodore Bowling, 27, which occurred June 24 in the South Pacific area, caused 
by multiple injuries. No further details were given. Petty Officer Bowling 
enlisted in the Seabees last October, and following training periods at Camp 
Peary, Williamsburg, Va., and in California, left for the South Pacific March 
12, and since that time had served in that area as an engineer. Mr. Bowling 
was born in Fairoaks, Pa., June 1, 1917, a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Bowling. 
He graduated from Salem high school in 1936 and later attended Purdue 
University. He came here with his family five years ago. Prior to his 
enlistment he was in partnership with his father in the mechanical engineering 
business. Surviving, besides his parents, are his wife, the former Miss 
Frances M. Orvec of Bethlehem, Pa., whom he married March 17, 1943; a son, 
Charles Theodore Bowling Jr., aged three months, whom he never saw and two 
brothers, Sgt. John H. Bowling, stationed in England, and William F. Bowling 
of Chicago. Bowling is the seventh man from this locality known to have lost 
his life in World War II.
