Obituary / Additional Information: The sad word
that the war department had declared their son, T/Sgt. Omer
W. LAMMERS to officially declared dead after being missing in
action for a year and a day was received yesterday by Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. L. LAMMERS, of Botkins route 1. The letter from the
war department was signed by Major General Edward F. Ditsell,
adjutant general for the army, and was dated February 16,
1946. It was as follows: "Since your son, Technical
Sergeant Omer W. LAMMERS was reported missing in action of
February 15, 1945, the war department has entertained the
hope that he survived and that information would be revealed
surrounding his absence. However, as in many cases, the
conditions of warfare deny us such informaiton." Sgt.
LAMMERS enlisted in the army air corps January 18, 1941, and
trained at Chanute field, Colo., and Fairmont army air field,
Kans. He left for overseas duty in the Pacific on Christmas
eve, December 24, 1944, and was assigned to the Marianna
islands. He was a flight engineer of the Superfort. He
attended New Knoxville school, graduating with the class of
1937, and was employed as a ditching machine operator by the
late Ed HOLL prior to taking a job at the Goodyear plant in
St. Marys from where he enlisted. Omer William LAMMERS was
born on January 9, 1920, near Botkins, the son of Mr. Nad
Mrs. William L. LAMMERS. He is survived by his parents and a
sister, Miss Mildred LAMMERS, at home, and a brother, Richard
LAMMERS, a student at Heidelberg College, Tiffin. He was a
member of the Evangelical and Reformed church at New
Knoxville. The official action of the war department brought
Shelby county's WWII casualty list of killed or died in the
service to 7.

activities as well as home movies and videos. In the

Gibbons hospital, Celina. Mrs. KUHLMAN became seriously ill
late Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. BUSS,
East Spring Street, and was removed from there by ambulance
to the hospital about 7 o'clock in the evening. She had been
in her usual good health until shortly before she was
stricken. The news of her death was a shock to many friends,
Mrs. KUHLMAN being widely known throughout the community. She
was the daughter of the late August L. and Anna
KATTERHEINRICH MECKSTROTH, of New Knoxville, and was born
there on March 9, 1974. Her marriage to Charles W. KUHLMAN
took place on November 18, 1897, and shortly afterward they
established their home in St. Marys and had lived here
continually ever since. Two sons were born to Mr. and Mrs.
KUHLMAN, Harold, whose death occurred some 20 years ago and
Dr. Clarence KUHLMAN of Cleveland. Besides her son she leaves
to mourn her death her daughter-in-law and one granddaughter,
Carolyn KUHLMAN; two brothers, Chris MECKSTROTH, who resided
with her and Ed MECKSTROTH of Findlay, and one sister, Mrs.
Herman WIERWILLE, north of New Knoxville. She was confirmed
in the Methodist church at New Knoxville but after her
removal to St. Marys she joined the St. Paul's Evangelical
and Reformed church in which she was actively associated. She
was a member too of the Woman's society of the church and
belonged to the Edelweiss club. In recent years Mrs. KUHLMAN
had served as a cateress at Idlewild club and at many social
functions and had a reputation for her excellent service.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon but other
arrangements have not been completed pending the arrival of
her son, Dr. Clarence KUHLMAN from Cleveland.
