Description

Copy of article on the 1944 death of Donald Mollison, includes photograph. Nancy Mollison Challet wrote on August 16, 2006 a note that reads: 'On the day that the Mollison family received news of Donald's death as a result of a jeep accident on the Pacific Island of Guadacanal, Nancy's father, Walter, was filling the farm tractor with gas at the general store when he overheard a man in military uniform inquiring as to the location of the Mollison residence. Fearing the worst, Walter drove home as quickly as possible. After enlisting Donald became a close friend with a soldier from Westhampton named Phil Lyman. After the loss of Donald, as long as Harry and Lucie Mollison lived, Phil was included in many family activities.'
