Pine Tree Sent by Town as Memorial to |
Missing Soldier Planted in Danville
The small longleaf pine sent to
Mr. and Mrs. Delmas H. Broome
of Danville, Va., as a memorial
to their soldier son who was lost
in a flight over the Pacific, has
been planted in the Broomes’
yard and is apparently flourishing
there.
Mrs. Raymond P. Cameron, ad
ministrative secretary of the
Southern Pines Information Cen
ter, said that she has received a
letter from Mr. Broome thanking
the “people of Southern Pines for
your kindness and consideration”
in sending the tree. The letter en
closed two snapshots picturing
the tree and a clipping from the
Danville Register relating the
story (which appeared in The Pi
lot a few weeks ago) of how the
tree was sent to the Broomes as
a gift from the Town.
The letter to Mrs. Cameron
said, in part: “The paper wanted
to take a picture of my wife and
me beside the tree. I declined be
cause we had just received offi
cial notification that all aboard
the airlinisr were considered to
have perished on March 16, and
naturally "my wife and I were
very upset.”
Shortly after the yoimg soldier.
Pvt. Joseph F. Broome, was re
ported in March as one of the 107
missing on a chartered plane be
tween Guam and the Philippines,
the young man’s father had writ
ten to Southern Pines, explaining
that he and his son had visited
here, that his son had enjoyed
seeing the longleaf pines and had
asked that one be obtained for
the Broomes’ yard so that he
could enjoy it after he left mili
tary service
'The Southern Pines Informa
tion Center then complied with
the father’s request, sending a
tree to be planted as a memorial
to the son, from the Town of
Southern Pines.
FIRE DANGER IN
WOODS REMAINS
Woods conditions in Mooie
County remain very dry and
dangerous, Travis A. Wicker,
county forest warden, said
this morning.
Officially, Moore County
has not been closed to burn
ing permits, the warden said,
but conditions do not war
rant burning at this lime.
A ban on burning permits
was lifted on a district-wide
basis last week, after rain in
the area. Generally, however,
this county received only
about a quarter-inch of rain
last week and the woods
quickly dried out.
There have been no ser
ious woodis fires in the past
week. Wicker said, adding,
"We've been lucky."

trated push during the final days
of the registration period helped

is the county’s highest.
The drive was non-political and
non-partisan, aimed only at get

PILOT ADVERTISING PAYS
PILOT FILE
(Continued from page 1)
The Pilot’s office. Finding the
1929 file, they went to work with
the zest and skill of .professional
librarians who are used to re
search and soon came upon the
story they sought. 'The January
25, 1920, edition reported the
death of Capt. Wiseman and
noted that he had been buried at
Mount Hope Cemetery here, in
the lot of the Deacon family of
Page St. The funeral had been
at Emmanuel Episcopal Church,
with vestrymen of the chxirch
acting as pallbearers.
On recommendation of Pilot
staff members, the ladies went to
the town hall where it was
thought they could locate the old
Deacon lot on a map of the town-
owned cemetery.
But their search of the ceme
tery proved fruitless, though they
found the lot on the map.
Meanwhile, Roland Norton,
town superintendent of public
works, who has charge of the
cemetery as well as the streets
and other town facilities, had
met the ladies and told them he
could find the lot they were look
ing for. At that time, they said
they thought they could find it
themselves.
When they come back to The
Pilot, they admitted their failure
and were urged to get in touch
with Mr. Norton again through
the town office. 'That they did
and the search was successful.
They found the grave in the Dea
con lot and were thrilled to know
that their persistence had Ifd
them to their goal.
They ordered several copies of
this week’s Pilot to send to the
son in England and others inter
ested in the story.
