    • Lt. Boren Dies in Japan of Poliomyelitis
      First Lt. Richard P. Boren, 28, stationed in Japan with the Eighth Army Food Service School, died Thursday of poliomyelitis, according to word received here by relatives.
      Lt. Boren was the son of Mrs. Laura Boren, 2229 North Clinton Street, and the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. R.V. Stuber, 637 Huffman Street. He was a graduate of North Side High School and had served with the Army for the past five years. Prior to entering the service, he was employed by the General Electric Company here.
      Other survivors include his wife, Dorothy, and a daughter, Sandra Sue, both living in Japan with him; four sisters, Mrs. Vera Bobay, Auburn, Mrs. Bernice Surfus, Leo, Mrs. Bessie Freeman, Gravill, and Mrs. Gladys Harney, Portland, and a brother, Theodore, of this city.
      Lt. Boren was a veteran of more than two years’ service in Germany during the war. He returned to this county after the armistice and later re-enlisted. A year ago last month he was sent to Japan and his wife and daughter joined him the following October.
      It is not know if the body will be returned here for burial.
