Pvt. Carl Dawson has been missing in action in Germany since December 15, the war department informed his wife at her home in Colorado Springs Monday. The couple has a small son, Johnny.

Dawson, a native son, graduated from Ford high school and lived here until the two years prior to induction when he operated a service station in Colorado Springs.

The father, J. O. Dawson, is a farmer here, and the mother, Mrs. Metta Dawson, is in Pawpaw, Ill. An only brother, Harry Dawson, a Nazarene minister, died at LaJunta in May. The grandmother, Mrs. Allie Dawson, has six other grandsons and two grandsons-in-law in the service.

[Carl served in World War II, so the year would be between about 1942 and 1944.]
