A Grave Concern: Private Edward H. Malz

Edward H. Malz was only 19 when he died of wounds sustained in Sicily in the summer of 1943. The son of Edward and Katherine Krouse Malz, he had a brother Clarence who was also enlisted and one surviving sister Marjorie. (Sister Evelyn predeceased him.) From the two separate announcements in the Necrology File, it appears that in addition to the visitation at the funeral home and services at East Shore Methodist Church, Malz was also honored with a memorial service at the local high school.
