Parents Think Soldiet Reported Killed Is Alive EDWARDSVILLE, August and Mrs. Frank Langwisch of 726 Payne street, Edwardsville, parents of Private Alvin J. Langwisch, were hopeful today there had been a mistake when they received Saturday a message from the War Department that Private Langwisch had been killed In action in Africa July 11. Their hopes were buoyed by knowledge that two letters dated subsequent lo the day of his announced death had been received from Private Langwisch.

The parents had received a letter from the soldier under the date of July 22, when Private Langwisch wrote that he had been wounded in action, but expected to be able to leave the hospital before the letter reached the United States. A brother, Frank Langwisch, of Wood River, received a letter dated July 25. The family, while pressing all avenues of possible information, are inclined to consider the letters as conclusive evidence that Private Langwisch is alive. fishing In several different resorts of the Body A jury impaneled by Deputy Coroner Robert StrcoptM- viewed Ihe body of Paul Loveless, welder killed in a fight outside Ihe plant of Shell Corp.
