      Memorial services for Staff Sgt. Carroll Lusche, USMC, who was killed in the battle of Tarawa, will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at St. John's Lutheran church of which Rev. William Goede is pastor.

      On Jan. 19 word was received here by his wife that Carroll was missing in action. Recently she received a telegram saying he was killed Nov. 20.

      Staff Sergeant Lusche enlisted in the marines Dec. 7, 1939, and received his "boot" training at San Diego. He was assigned the battleship Oklahoma where he was the youngest marine gun captain.

      He was a member of the Oklahoma crew when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Following the attack he volunteered for hauling ammunition at Hawaii and later was stationed at the base.

      Last May he had his only furlough and in July was assigned new post. He had received six months of schooling at Camp Pendelton prior to his overseas July assignment.

      Staff Sergeant Lusche was born June 2, 1920, and was graduated from Kramer high school in 1937. He worked on the farm until enlisting in the marines.

      On Sept. 6, 1941, he married Marion Killion at San Francisco.

      He is survived by his wife and small daughter Janet Kay, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lusche, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lusche. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
