Title

Lt. Ernest W. Garner Declared Officially Dead

"Altho hostilities of [World] War II has ceased, yet, the grim tragedies still goes on. This is impressed on Turner County's citizens this week more indelibly and forcibly when the news came to Ashburn last Thursday from the government to Mrs. E.W. Garner that her son, Lt. Ernest W. Garner Jr., missing in action since last April 14, is now listed as officially dead."

...

'During the time Ernie has been with us, I have learned to not only like him as a friend, but to respect him as a fine pilot. Few boys enjoy their work more than he did. Always eager to fly, ready to volunteer for any mission, regardless of how hazardous, he early became an asset to the 528 Fighter Squadron."
