Hi Pamela,

Sorry this is clip is so huge...

I found it on Newspapers.com...at time of accident they were unsure whether Helena was his

wife. There are other articles about the accident on newspapers.com. You can get a trial subscription.

Please ask if you need further assistance.

Dear Ms. Shank,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

If you have not already done so, we suggest that you request a copy of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). OMPFs and medical records of enlisted men and officers of the U.S. Navy who were separated from the service after 1957 and prior to January 31, 1994 are located at NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO  63138-1002. To request these records, please mail a completed GSA Standard Form 180 to NPRC.  Certain information in the records is not available to the general public without the written consent of the veteran or his next of kin. For more information see Request Military Service Records.

Navy and Marine Corps casualty records from 1940-1989 are in the custody of the National Archives at St. Louis (RL-SL). For access to these records, please contact RL-SL via email at stl.archives@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RL-SL. Also, the NPRC is currently only servicing emergency requests associated with medical treatments, burials, homeless veterans, VA Home loan guarantees, and employment opportunities. If this is urgent, please see Emergency Requests and Deadlines. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We suggest that you contact the California Department of Public Health for vital records such as his death and marriage records, plus the birth records of his child. Since he was from Missouri, we suggest that you contact the Missouri Bureau of Vital Records for his birth records and possibly his marriage records.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
