Suggested edit: Thought you might add this to his memorial. Thanks

Circa 1940. Robert Sr. and Beulah's third child was Jack Pebworth, a tennis ace who became a WWII pilot after graduating Murray State College at Tishamingo. Jack died in action in the Pacific on October 16, 1942 in the Sea of Kiska when he was caught in the wake of the Japanese ship he had just bombed. He was decorated posthumously. Jack was not married and had no descendants. Jack was born around 1918 and died October 16, 1942. His body was never recovered, but there is a memorial monument to him in Ardmore, Ok
