MONTICELLO, Ind.--The body of Pfc. Wayne C. Dively, who was killed in action in Germany during World War II, will arrive in Monticello on the Friday morning train from Chicao for reburial. It will be taken to the Miller funeral home where friends may call after noon on Friday.

Final rites for the soldier will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Headlee Church of God with the Rev. Alvin Hall officiating. The body will be removed to the church one hour before services to lie in state. Graveside rites at the Indian Creek cemetery are to be conducted by the Monticello post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Pfc. Dively and his sister, Mrs. Fred Miller, at one time lived their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Walter near Buffalo. He was killed on March 24, 1945. He would have been 25 years old now.

This is my grandpa Francis Diveley's brother. Information at this link gives more detail about how he died. https://uiaa.org/veterans/wayne-clement-diveley/. Mom had thought he was buried in Holland. A cousin thought he had been shot as a paratrooper on D-Day. So I looked him up. University of Illinois Alumni, Veteran's Memorial Project, Wayne C. Diveley, Decatur, Illinois. https://uiaa.org/veterans/wayne-clement-diveley/. Thanks very much! I think our veterans should be remembered as much as possible.
