Ethyl Fulton Estate Card File

Ethyl Fulton was one of Seattle's unsung heroes.  The mother of a son who was killed in action during World War II, Mrs. Fulton devoted hours upon hours of her time to check the long list of King County's war dead so that their names could be inscribed on a city memorial to them.  She carefully compiled, checked, and re-checked names of Seattle veterans to accomplish this task.  It is not as yet known why her card file of Korean War casualties ended up on ebay.

"Son Believed Dead, Prisoner in Korea"

Good News - Mrs. H.A. Thompson, 404 S.W. 139th St., happily reads letter written by her son, Pfc. Hjalmer (Junior) Thompson, 18, from a North Korean prisoner of war camp.  With her [in newspaper photo] are two other sons, Jack, 6, and Joseph, 4.  Mrs. Thompson long ago gave soldier son up for lost. - Post Intelligencer

Mother Overjoyed as Boy Soldier Writes He Will Come Home
by Eleanor Bell

"Junior isn't dead!  We just got a letter from him!"  These excited words over the telephone brought back to life -- for a Seattle mother -- a son she long ago had given up as killed in action in Korea.  The caller was a younger son.  The mother, Mrs. H.A. Thompson of 404 S.W. 139th St., was helping her husband, a disabled World War I veteran, at the gas station where he is employed, at 15801 S. Pacific Highway.  Their eldest of seven children, Pfc. Hjalmer (Junior) Thompson, 18, had been missing in action since December 3.  In January, the young Army Infantryman was reported killed in action.

Gifts Returned

For months the Thompsons have been getting back all the letters and packages (even Christmas presents) they had sent Junior.  Every week, when more mail came back, the parents' despair mounted.  Jerry, 16, one of their sons, rushed to the phone after the mailman delivered a letter which had come from a "Chinese Hospital, North Korea."  "Junior's a prisoner of war!" Jerry told his mother.  "He's all right!"  Mrs. Thompson said Tuesday, "I couldn't answer Jerry right away.  I was stunned  I went home right away."  Her husband said, "We know the letter is from Junior.  It's in his handwriting and he said things in it that only Junior would ay.  He asked about his dog, Pepper."  Mrs. Thompson pointed to the initials, "S.W.A.M.L.K's" on the outside of the letter and explained, "That means, 'Sealed with a million loves and kisses."

Duel F. Bunch, company executive officer, said of Mauser: "He died, not dong an outstanding or heroic job, but just doing his job.  I only hope that if I am next, I die as bravely as he did."

"Mother Finds Joy; Wounded Son Due Home"

Mrs. Ethyle Thompson, 1917 Eastlake Ave., never could have imagined that word that her son, Pfc. Robert M. Thompson, had been wounded in Korea, could bring joy to her heart.  But such was the case today, for the mother has learned her son will be home soon for the first time in two and a half years and is not wounded seriously.  Furthermore, because of a brief shopping tour, the tidings came first from Mrs. Fulton's son instead of the Defense Department.  "While I was downtown, a messenger left a message that he had tried to deliver a telegram," Mrs. Thompson explained.  "Just before I got home the postman delivered a letter from my boy.  He wrote how he had been wounded and that he would be home soon.  I had just finished reading it when the telegraph company messenger returned with the official notice."  Thompson, 20 has three brothers, Jean and John, both of Seattle and Second World War veterans, and LeRoy, Eugene, Oregon.

"Seattle Army Youth Missing in Korea.  Only 17 Years Old"

Pvt. Kenneth A. Hogan of Seattle, listed as missing in action in the Defense Department casualty list of the Korean War made public Friday, was only 17.  Kenneth observed his 17th birthday June 1.  He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Hogan of 15235 20th Ave. S.W.  He last saw them in April, while home on furlough.

Born in Seattle, Kenneth went through the grades at Lake Burien School.  He left Highline High School in his sophomore year to enlist in the army in October of 1949.  He was stationed on Okinawa before being sent to the Korean War front.  His family last heard from him in July, when he was on his way.  He was a rifleman in an infantry company.  Besides his parents, Kenneth has a sister, Mrs. Irene Lackey of Alderwood Manor, and two brothers, Robert, 18, at the family home at Seahurst, and James L. Hogan, 22, in Seattle.  "Kenneth loved the army," Mrs. Lackey said.  "He wanted to make it his career."

Letter from Mrs. Clara Jacobs

December 6, 1951

Mrs. Fulton
Dear Madam,

Regarding my request about my son's name on the plaque at the Public Safety Building.  Name, Clarence E. Jacobs F 1/C U.S.N.  Clarence Edwin Jacobs, full name.  Serial Number 3869642.  Volunteered Feb. 4, 1944, age 17.  Killed in motorcycle accident (while returning to his ship at San Diego).  Killed at Montrose, California, June 4, 1946.  He had served on S.S. Duncan, from which he had been on a 30 day leave at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Jacobs, 10426-B East Marginal Way, Seattle.  He was born at Port Angeles, Washington, attended school at Tacoma, Sumner, Auburn, Thomas, and Cleveland High in Seattle, from which he quit to go in A.T.S. in Fall of 1942, quitting there about Christmas time. 

In the fall of 1943, he worked at Boeings for a while, where he joined the A.F.L. union 751.  I think he also joined the American Legion while in the service.  He served first                on the S.S. Kimberly, then was transferred to the S.S. Gerke, and finally the S.S. Duncan.  He had been over to Okinawa and Japan in 1945, and had been to Japan in 1946 before being sent home on leave. 

I think that covers everything you wanted.  His body was returned to Seattle, where he was buried in the Navy Grave Yard at Washelli, on June 15, 1946.  Thank you, and if you should wish to contact me concerning this matter at any time, my phone number is EL 4240 (in my son's name) Lewis J. Jacobs.  I am his mother, now widowed.

Mrs. Clara Jacobs
