Island Lady “Gold . Star Mother” Honors Heroes

"He has come back," so said Mrs. Charles H. Ross, Mattapan, Mas!" representative Of Gold Star Moth- ers of N. E. as the Honda Knot docked at San Francisco Oct. 10th. with the first returning war dead. Mrs. Ross was formerly May An- wrews of Wheatley River, P.

At the salute honoring the arrival of the heroes were Mrs. Ross. Judge John J. McMahon, San Francisco, Major General Willis l-Iale, Fourth Air Force under whom young Ross died in action! and their group photograph appears in the Boston Dally Mirror of Oct. llth. Mr. Ross is also an Islander his former home being in Cherry Valley.

sons of World War II.

She knelt on the floor of the vast rotunda of city hall where for more than an hour thousands liad thronged each balcony and stairway and all available space. participating with mingled grief and pride in this city‘s final, ma- jestic and moving tribute to tlie deed whose bodies lt had recelvod on its shorc Friday from the Army tiansport Ilonda Knot.

The Boston mother who knelt in prayer was Mrs. Charles Ross of Blake st., Mattaian, mother of

Cpl. Wesley Ross. 21, first Hyde Park hov to die for his country in the Pacific area on remote

Christmas ls‘e. Waited On Shore

On the previous day. Mrs. Ross had watched from the shore with yearning eyes and heart as the snip that hare lier sons hody lay

st Lnchor off Marina Pei-k during impressive outdoor memorial ex- erclses.

Yesterday, this mother who gave l-WO sons to her country's service- one to die, and the other to outlive the severest combat of the Pacific zone -carried through, to attend the even more poignant indoor memorial where the six anonymous caskets lay in state within reach of her hand.

"If only," Mrs. Ross said later. "ell the New England mothers could have seen this as I have seen it-the honor. the reverence. the devotion -lt would ease their grief as it has eased mine."

The six sealed caskets contained bodies representing every branch of the armed services - Army. Navy. Marine Corps. Army Air Forces, Coast Guard- and civilian Americans first to die beneath the flaming horror of Pearl Harbor and

in the ensuing island attacks. Post Honor Guard

At the head of each casket stood a guard of honor, each one a vet- eran wearing his battle-starred, riobons, each representing his branch of service.

Guarding the casket, symbolic of lhe civilian dead. was a high- i-anking American Legion veteran of World War I.

Wreaths of flowers banked the caskets. Each bore a gold-lettered white ribbon from its donor, and in the central place of honor was‘ the Presidential floral tribute, marked: “The Commander-in- Cnlef."

But more impressive, more stir- ring than the splendor of the flow- ers and the color and dignity of the military guards. were the in- dividuals who passed for hours, in long, reverent file_ before the six caskets that might well contain

the bodies of their own. .
