Notes
a. Note:   The 1940 federal census for Johnson Co., Missouri shows that he was a widower, and that he lived in Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Missouri in 1935. Gene Edelen Tells of Hurricane (Source, Pleasant Hill Historical Society) Eugene Edelen (grandson of Mrs. H. B. Edelen, Pleasant Hill) who is with the Seabees on Okinawa, was uninjured in the typhoon Oct. 9, but has been frozen on the island for 60 days for the re-building of installations there. As he has more than enough points for a discharge, he had expected to be home soon. His wife is in Oakland, Calif. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Y. Edelen. The hurricane was the worst in 20 years. Edelen has written, the 120 knots-an-hour wind raging for 12 hours. He tells of going to the hills where he spent seven hours sitting in a box, then spent the night with 500 others in the kitchen, in a space so small that nobody could sit down. All buildings of the camp were demolished except the disbursing office and the kitchen. There were 150 lives lost, all natives except one service man, and between 90,000 and 150,000 persons left without shelter. -- Warrensburg Star-Journal
