CAUDILL, Ralph K. (Kenton) SUPREME SACRIFICE

Waynesburg, has been classed “presumably dead” in a letter from the Army
Adjutant General.
“Full consideration has been given to all information bearing
on the absence, including all records, reports and circumstances of your son”,
the letter said. Sgt. Caudill was reported seriously wounded in January of 1951
and reported missing in March of 1951. No word has been received by his parents
since then.
He attended Highland High and went into the army when
17 years old. His basic training was taken at Camp Breckenridge and was a
Sergeant in the Infantry when reported missing. He attended Fairview Baptist
Church at Hall’s Gap and was a popular boy in the high school he attended. He
was born in 1931.

Three sisters, Mrs. Ray Jenkins, Waynesburg; Mrs. Lonzo McGuffey, Dayton and Miss Dixie Caudill at home and grandparents, Mrs.
