Military Service:
Died in service WWII in the Makin Islands.Briefly, he was killed in a raid on Butartari Atoll in the Makin Island s, now known as Kirabati. CILHI goes all over the world searching for t he bodies of missing military personnel from all wars. With the he lp of a native islander who recalled where the mass temporary grave was f or these 19 men, and the efforts of their fellow former Marine Raiders, CI LHI located the grave in 1998 or 1999. We heard about this in Decemb er of 1999. That is when the remains were returned to Hickam Air Force Ba se and the identification process began. It turns out that Eugene's dog t ags were found and his remains could be identified from dental record s. He was buried with 13 of the other Marines in Arlington National Cemete ry on August 17, 2001. The Marine Raiders held their annual conventi on in D.C. at that time and it was really interesting to be there and ta lk to some of these men and the archeologists from CILHI.

WWII MARINE RAIDERS IDENTIFIED, RETURNING HOME The remains of 19 World War II Marine Raiders killed in action on Butaritari Island (Makin Atoll) and listed as missing in action since August 1942 were recently identified, and will be returned to their families for burial. The remains are those of:

Pvt. Carlyle O. Larson, Glenwood, Minn.
Pvt. Robert B. Maulding, Vista, Calif.
Pvt. Franklin M. Nodland, Marshalltown, Iowa
Pvt. Charles A. Selby, Ontonagon, Mich.The Marines were members of the Marine Corps' 2nd Raider Battalion, killed during the August 17-18, 1942, raid on Japanese-held Butaritari Island, during which an estimated 83 Japanese soldiers were killed.Lt. Col. Evans F. Carlson commanded the Raiders during the operation, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's son, Capt. James Roosevelt, was the operation's second-in-command. Ferried to the island by submarine and landing on and departing Butaritari by rubber boats, the Marines were unable to evacuate the bodies of their fallen comrades.With the assistance of island inhabitants, including a man who assisted in the burial of the Marines in 1942, a recovery team from the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii (CILHI) uncovered a mass grave and excavated the remains in November and December 1999. That operation was preceded by an initial investigation in August 1998 and an unsucces sful recovery effort in May 1999. The U.S. Marine Raider Association provided invaluable assistance with firsthand information and documentation about their combat on Butaritari. In late 1999, the CILHI began an exhaustive forensic identification process, including the use of mitochondrial DNA, to confirm the identities of the Marines. Marine Corps officials, using historical military records and more modern search techniques, located the next of kin of each of the Marines. Arrangements for the transportation and burial of the Marines are underway, in consultation with the families. The first burial is expected to be that of Cpl. Yarbrough in Sikeston, Mo. in December. Among the remains recovered are those of Sgt. Clyde Thomason, the first enlisted Marine awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II.The identification of these Marines contributes to the ongoing effort by the Department of Defense to locate and identify more than 88,000 American service members who remain missing in action from World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Kelly Ann Powers, Kaukauna, age 57 died unexpectedly on Monday, July 18, 2016 as the result of a heart attack. She was born December 9, 1958 in Kaukauna, WI, daughter of the late Wilfred "Wolfie" and Joan (Kelly) Powers. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Kaukauna.
Kelly attended Kaukauna High School and was a graduate of the Madison Business College. She was actively working as a Court Reporter where she was enjoying an exceptional 35-year career. During this time, she worked in the Dane County, Cook County, and Waupaca County Court Systems. She was known as being a true professional and a proud and active member of the National Court Reporters and Wisconsin Court Reporters Associations.
Kelly was an avid Packer and Badger fan. She adored and shared stories of her nieces to her closest friends. Kelly was also as an animal lover and was so proud of her late dog Oden whom she referred to as a "handsome man" and her Bassett Gus who she would call "my little baby". Kelly had an amazing personality, smile and her laugh was both adorable and contagious. She was also an extremely generous person donating both her time and money for so many. Her contributions were numerous, and one of the most memorable was where she volunteered her reporting services to the Veterans Project, recording personal accounts of history from veterans, many of whom were wounded and aging.
Kelly is survived by her brother Brian Powers of Hortonville; Michelle Powers; her nieces: Brittany and Erin Powers; and many close friends and relatives. Kelly is preceded in death by her parents Wilfred and Joan Powers as well as her infant brother Michael.
