Born in Hysham, Mont., July 30, 1914, a son of Mrs. Lilly McCartney Renkenberger and the late Forrest McCartney, he came here with his parents when a small boy, returning to Montana at the age of 17, and for a considerable time was employed there on a ranch.

"Learns Details of Son's Death"
"Through a shipmate, Yeoman 3/c John E. Turner of Cleveland, Mrs. Lilly Renkenberger has learned the details of the death of her son, Fireman 1/c Forrest Edward McCartney, which occurred when his ship was bombed off the coast of Sicily, July 11. McCartney's ship, the sentinel, a 220-foot minesweeper, was taking part in landing operations off the coast of Licata, Sicily, when the invasion was beginning, and Forrest volunteered to serve as a member of a gun crew, serving as gun-trainer on the number one gun – a 3-inch piece. Axis flyers dropped fragmentation bombs on the Sentinel, one striking near McCartney's gun, killing him and several other men instantly. Other hits soon put the vessel out of control and the remainder of the crew were taken off to an American escort ship, just a few minutes before the sentinel sank."
