David Lovelle, of
Dillon, Loses Life
Saving a Shipmate
DILLON, S. C.—Mrs. Annie L.
Lovelle, a member of St. Louis
parish here, has been advised by
Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs, chief
of naval personnel in Washington,
that her son, Pharmacist’s Mate
(fc) David Albert Lovelle, lost his
life by drowning on January 11,
while in the service of his countrj',
while serving in the South Pacific
area.
Mrs. Lovelle later received a
letter from Lieutenant Commander
W. C. Neff, Jr., of the first medical
battalion, the First Marine Divi
sion, dated January 23, which said
that on the afternoon of January
11, “your son gave his life that one
of his fellow hospital corpsmen
might be saved. There is no ques
tion in the minds of all concerned
but that had not Dave given his
assistance, the poorer swimmer
might have drowned. The surf was
very high, the undertow strong,
and though none could be sure,
the surf must have swamped him
so that he could not carry on. I
think that is the explanation.”
“1 have known Dave personally
since December, 1941,” Lieuten
ant Commander Neff’s letter con
tinues, “and he has served under
my command since September,
1943. He was always a conscient
ious, willing and skillful worker,
and had the knack of handling
other men in the pursuit of comp
any work. You may be sure, his
passing was a shock to all of us,
officers and men alike.” ,
“Since we are all certain of the
heroic nature of your son’s last act,
I have recommended him for the
Life Saving Medal, as a posthum
ous award. 1 am certain it will be
awarded since the recommendation
is approved by the Division Surg
eon.
“It is my hope that my account
of this may afford you some small
solace in your .bereavement.”
The letter also stated that Phar
macist's Male Lovelle had the last
rites of the Church, administered
by Father Daniel F. Meehan, a
Navy chaplain, who accompanied
him to his resting place, a beauti
ful spot on a grassy plain, overlook
ed by towering mountains which
had been captured by the Ameri
can forces a short time before.
Chaplain Meehan officiated at the
interment services, and offered a
Requiem Mass.
Pharmacist's Mate Lovelle, his
mother, and two sisters, are con
verts. Besides his mother, he is
survived by three brothers. James
Lovelle, Orrun, N. C.; the Rev. R.
E. Lovelle, Louisville, Ky., Jack
Lovelle, Lake View; two sisters,
Mrs. Sidney llite and Mrs. Arthur
Farley, both of Miami, and two
aunts, Mrs. D. F. Briggs and Mrs.
Harvey Biggs, both of Dillon.
