Stores Will Close 
On Monday Morning 
For Soldier Burial 

Shenandoah stores will be closed Monday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 o'clock 
during the funeral services for Pvt. John J. McHugh. 

Chief Burgess Andrew Baraniak, in a proclamation issued today, called for the 
business recess as a tribute to the memory of a local World War II hero. 

Pvt. McHugh was killed in action on January 7, 1945, in France. Solemn Requiem 
Mass will be celebrated in St. George's Church at 9:30 o'clock. Interment will 
be in the Annunciation Cemetery. 

Representatives of the various local service posts will attend the funeral in 
a body and conduct military serviqes at the cemetery. 

The body of Pvt. McHugh was returned from abroad on the U. S. Army Transport 
Lawrence Victory. The funeral will take place from the residence at 1211 West 
Centre street. 

Burgess Baraniak urged residents to display the American flag during the 
services on Monday morning. "We should show every respect for those who made 
the supreme sacrifice to safeguard our Democracy," he said. "He gave us his 
life, we should not hesitate to give his memory one hour."
