Tampico Tornado, Thurs., Jan. 21, 1943
Mrs. H. A. TERRY received word recently that her grandson, John Wayne GLASSBURN, seaman first class, is a patient in a hospital at Pearl Harbor where he is receiving treatment for a leg injury received in action the first of the month. A number of other seaman on his ship were also injured. He will have his leg in a cast for almost three months.

His wife and two-year old daughter reside in Davenport, Ia. where Mrs. GLASSBURN is employed in a war plant. His mother, Mrs. W.O. PARSONS, makes her home in Geneseo.
