This informtion was transcribed by Von Mings Stachon who has been a contributor to the genealogy community in several states.  The Iowa contributions come as a result of her friendship with the Whannel family of Traer, IA.  More specifically Leroy S. Whannel who is a veteran of WW II and was a member of the crew on the ship (USS Pinto) and later on the USS General Moffitt (troop transport) that returned survivors of the Bataan Death March.
