NORTH TONAWANDA-Mrs. Ella
Vorpahl, of-284 North street, received
a telegram last evening from
the War department, informing her
of the death of her son, Staff Sergeant
Donald V. Vorpahl, in action
in North Africa on January 29. The
wire gave no details.
He was connected with the U. S.
Army Air corps and was a machine-
gunner of exceptional ability.
Before going to Africa he broke
aerial gunnery records at a gunnery
