21801 WV TEC5 Med Dept. 17 ORD CO WWII

Richard Combs was a member of the 17th Ordnance Company. He was stationed in the Philippine Islands when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Ten hours later, he lived through the bombing of Clark Airfield. For four months, his unit worked to keep the tanks running of the Provisional Tank Group.

For four months they slowed Japan’s conquest of the Philippines. Without food, without adequate supplies, and no hope of being relieved, he became a Prisoner of War on April 9, 1942, when Bataan was surrendered to the Japanese.
He took part in the death march from Mariveles to Capas. There, 100 POWs were packed into small wooden boxcars that could hold 40 men or 8 horses. At San Fernando, the living left the boxcars and those who had died fell to the floor. The POWs walked the final miles to Camp O’Donnell.

As a POW, he was held at Camp O’Donnell. The death rate in the camp was so high that the Japanese opened a new camp at Cabanatuan and transferred the healthier POWs there. He remained at Camp O'Donnell because he was too ill to be moved. He was one of the last POWs to die at the camp and was buried in the camp cemetery. After the war, his remains were identified and his family requested that they be returned to the United States. In October 1955, he was buried at Bethel Presbyterian Cemetery.

21812 Wynona Royse Alvord, 74, of Olney, went to meet her Lord and Savior on Thursday, October 13, 2022.

Wynona was born July 3, 1948, in Olney to Norven J. Weidner and Lucille Jones Weidner.

Wynona's joy in life was being a wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. She is survived by her 5 children, one grandson, Caleb, two sisters, one brother, several sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law and their spouses as well as many nieces and nephews.

Wynona was a caregiver to many in the community, whether young, or old. She was a "grandma" to 4 special boys Isaiah, Payton, Malachi and Declan, who loved her dearly. Through the years, her favorite activities she enjoyed were baking, gardening, and playing bingo.

Visitation will be from 5-7 PM on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 in the chapel of Thrasher Family Funeral Home. Private family services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in her memory to Heart to Heart Hospice, 610 East Walnut Street, Evansville, Indiana, 47713
