Air Force Pilot-Killed in action over France
Clarence Hopkins Stewart Jr.
My 2nd cousin 1x removed
Birth 8 Apr 1919 in Randolph County, Alabama
Death 22 Jun 1944 in Brittany, France
Second Lieutenant Clarence Hopkins Stewart, Jr., born 8 Apr 1919 was the only son of Clarence and Mary “Mae” Elizabeth (Green) Stewart of Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama. Wedowee is in east central Alabama 98 miles east of Birmingham.
In the 1920 census 1-year old Clarence is living with his parents and sisters Annie 3, and Elizabeth 2, near Wadley and Wedowee Roads in rural Louina, Randolph County, Alabama. His father is farming.
In the 1930 census 10-year-old Clarence is living with his parents and sisters Annie 13, and Elizabeth 12, still in rural Louina. His father is still farming.
In the 1940 census 20-year-old Clarence is living with his parents and sisters Ruth Ann 23, and Elizabeth 22, still in rural Louina. His father is superintendent on a WPA road project. Clarence is still working on the farm.
Clarence enlisted in the Air Corps 19 Jan 1942 at Montgomery. He’d had four years of college and was single without dependents. His civil occupation was listed under farm managers and foremen.
The 355th Fighter Squadron flew fighter sweeps in P-51 Mustangs over Normandy and along the English Channel coast of France and the Low Countries, April–June 1944, then engaged in heavy tactical bombing of enemy military targets as well as roads, railroads and bridges in the Normandy area to support ground forces in the immediate aftermath of D-Day.
The NARA WWII casualty listings by state and county for Alabama show Stewart, C H, 2 Lt from Randolph County as FOD (Finding of Death). An FOD was determined at least one year and one day after a soldier, sailor, or airman went missing in action. Lt. Stewart was declared missing when he was shot down by anti-aircraft fire near Saint Lo on 22 Jun 1944.
A cenotaph marker in memory of Clarence was placed at Concord Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Wadley, Randolph County, Alabama.
