Death Notice in the Sycamore True American, Friday, January 23, 1942.
"The Navy Department on Monday confirmed the "death in action" in the Pearl Harbor raid of Seaman Willard Aves, 20 years old, son of Charles Aves of Kingston.
"Young Aves enlisted in the Navy four months after his graduation from Kingston High School in 1940.
At the time of the Pearl Harbor Raid of December 7, he was attached to the crew of an American battleship."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
