Seargeant Delbert Hicks Killed In Plane Crash

DEATH CAME TO CLARINDA YOUTH SOON AFTER ARRIVAL

Location of Flyer Not Known Until Wife, Near Villisca, Was Notified of Plane Crash

First news of S/Sgt Delber M. Hicks, son of Mrs. R. M. Hicks of Clarinda, since he left the United States as a member of a bomb squadron of the army air force was received Thursday morning. A telegram notified Sgt. Hicks' wife that he had died as a result of a plane crash in Africa.

The telegram fromt the adjutant general's office in Washington was sent to Mrs. Hicks at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fisher near Villasca. The family here had a letter from San Francisco, Calif. January 2 telling that he had met John Whitehill, a former Clarinda boy. Next word was notice that S/Sgt Hicks' address was APO, c/o postmaster at New York City.

Sgt. Hicks had told them he expected to fly across, but the family knew nothing of when he had made the crossing. Nor did the telegram state whether the crash was of a transport plane or other type.

Sgt. Hicks had entered the service in May, 1942, serving at Sioux City, Iowa, Salt Lake City, Utah, and last at Tonapah, Nev. before being sent across with his bombing squadron. He was attached to the medical unit. He was married last April to Eva Luella Fisher who has been with him much of the intervening months. Mrs. Hicks was formerly employed in Clarinda, and Sgt. Hicks was a former Lisle Corporation employe.
