Local Boy Reported Missing in Action

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Wilson, residing three miles northwest of Calico Rock, Thursday morning received a telegram from the Navy Department informing them that their son, Scott Wilson, is unaccounted for after three days search. It is feared that the young man is a casualty, as the ship on which he is serving is reported as being sunk. It is believed he was on duty somewhere in the Pacific.

Young Wilson has been in the Navy over two years. He was at home on furlough about a year ago.
