From the Detroit Free Press: A funeral is planned Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery for a
Marine from Wayne County and six others who were killed in a World War
II crash and whose remains were only recently identified.
Pfc. John A. Donovan of Plymouth was on a PBJ-1 bomber that crashed on Espiritu Santo island in the South Pacific in 1944.
Also killed were 1st Lt. Laverne Lallathin of Raymond, Wash.; 2nd Lt.
Dwight Ekstam of Moline, Ill.; 2nd Lt. Walter Vincent of Tulsa, Okla.;
