1101 | Suffered and died from hydro-encephalitis. | Byars, Robbie Lee (I3814)

1102 | Sunday morning, October 20, 2013: Spoke to Aunt Pearl this morning about Pop & Uncle Pete in regards to their "troubles with the law"... Pop thought that if he could run one load of whiskey to Nashville, that would solve all of his financial problems as... This was in the early 1930's and he was living with his young family in Green Hill (DeKalb County) where he was cropping shares (for Ralston Sullivan) and hauled logs part-time. Can you imagine working the fields all day and then hauling logs to McMinnville, 10 miles away, all on foot and by mule? No wonder he thought this was an easier way to make a few dollars. Pop got caught. Aunt Pearl tells us that it took everything he had to avoid jail and he never did that again! Ma told me that Pop worked as a mechanic (probably during the 1930's). At some point, Pop began selling "Philco" radios and farm implements for Herbert Ralston "Ralston" Sullivan (1894-1962) who owned the "Sullivan Company" of McMinnville and apparently did this through the early 1950's as I remember travelling with him out in the country to call on his prospests and customers... Aunt Pearl told me that Pop shared crops from Ralston before he began his sales career. It seems Ralston thought well of Pop. Aunt Pearl was surprized to find out that he and Pop were the same age. In 1941 Pop went to Detroit. He worked for Budd Wheel through the summer of 1943. In 1945 he bought the log house on North Warren Street and the family moved there from their residence on Towles Avenue. Then Pop buys a taxi, about 1943, which he ran until late 1949 - early 1950. It is at this juncture that Uncle Pete became a felon. Uncle Pete borrows the taxi from Pop and drives to Manchester and picks-up a lady(ies) for an evening of dancing and driking. Pete is "higher than a Georgia pine", crashes the car and kills a passenger. He is convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison in 1949 when he returns home about three years later...Pop got out of the taxi business. It is at this point that he works full-time for Sullivan. It was 1950 and I remember Pop bought a brand-new 1950 Plymouth, "Sea Mist Green", 4-door sedan and this was the car we travelled in when he called on his clients. He retired in the mid-1950's and spent his life fishing, whittling and guarding his realm sitting in an old wood chair propped-up against the garage in the backyard... end of note | Byars, Perry Green "Green" (I703)

1104 | Sweet Aunt Bessie passed into paradise July 12, 2013. Gone to be with all those whom she loved; Uncle Murlis, Ma, Pop, sisters Lucile, Margie, brothers, Pete and Fred. What a happy reunion for her. I'll never forget her loving nature, her wonderful fudge pies and cakes and how she loved: Sweets, Garage sales, Shoes, Prune juice and Dinners out... She will be sorely missed by all who knew her...DAH * | Byars, Bessie Lee (I751)

1121 | There is much documentation regarding the Clontz' immigration to the "New World". Carl Clontz, of Mt.Vernon, KY, has written an excellent monograph regarding this this family; "The history of the Clontz family in the United States likely begins with the arrival of Hieronymus Glantz on the ship, Adventure, which arrived in Philadelphia, in September, 1732. It had come from Rotterdam via the port of Cowes in Britain. The captain, in his passenger list, showed the following family, whose names and ages were given as: Jerimy Glance 29 Marrea Medl. Glance 30 Anna Margreate Glance 9 Hance Micalle Glance 4 The adult male immigrants were required to sign two instruments attesting their allegiance - one to the Crown of England and one to the proprietor of the province. These lists were signed on September 23, 1732, and both (taken before different clerks) contain the signature: Hieronymus Glance. Although he could sign his name (and was clearly literate in German), he apparently never learned English for he later made his mark on documents [which were] in English. From Philadelphia the family appears to have migrated to south-central Virginia in what is now Mecklenburg County. The area was originally included in Brunswick County but became Lunenburg County in 1746, and in 1765, became Mecklenburg County, whose county seat is Boydton. Jeremiah, as he was then known, was shown on a tithe list,in 1748, as Jermiah Glaush. In 1749 and 1750, he was listed as Jeremiah Clanch; in 1751, as Jermiah Clansh and in 1752, as Jeremiah Claunch. On October 2, 1750, he purchased a 200 acre tract of land from Drury Smith. In 1752, a tithe list included Jeremiah Claunch and also John Claunch, as a separate householder. Hance (or probably Hans) had anglicized his name adopting the English version - John. The tithe listings are consisent with ages shown by the ship captain. In 1748, John Michael would been 19 or 20, depending on his birth date, and probably would not have been obligated for tithes. In 1752, he would have around 24 and would have been obligated. No other trace of him has been found in southern Viginia. Jeremiah was issued a patent for an additional 200 acres in August, 1756. No other land acquisitions by him have been located; however, in June, 1758, he and his wife (Margaret) conveyed 555 acres to a Thomas Moore. Whether they stayed in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, or migrated further south cannot be determinded from the records that have been found, but a Jeremiah Claunch can be found there in the record until 1800, on tax lists or in signing various marriage bonds and marriage consents for his children. It is likely that a son, Jeremiah, and perhaps other children left progeny there. There is a gap between the 1758 deed and the 1782 census and tax record showing Jeremiah Claunch with six white family members. In 1793, William married. Matthew Claunch married in 1799, with Jeremiah as surety on his bond. Dennis Claunch married in 1803, and Jinny and Sally in 1804. John Michael and a brother named Jacob migrated to southern North Carolina. In December,1768,John Michael Claunch patented 200 acres in Mecklenburgh (sic) County, North Carolina, and in May, 1772, Jacob Clance patented 226 acres there. Two brothers, Jeremiah Clontz and George Clontz were in born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,in the years 1756 and 1759, respectively. The place of birth is now in Cabarrus County. Both of these men enlisted and served in the Revolutionary War and received pensions. George's nine-month enlistment was up, August 5, 1779, and he was sick and his father came and took him back to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. They are listed as heads of household in North Carolina in the 1790 census. George was in Cabarrus County and Jeremiah was in Mecklenburg. John Michael Clontz and Wife, Margaret, sold their patented land to a Christian Goodman, in 1784, and no further trace can be found of them in North Carolina but a Michael Clontz is shown in South Carolina a little south and east of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in the 1790 census. No further trace of John Michael can be found [ed.note: John would have been 62 years of age during that census]. Jacob Clance cannot be traced and there is no record of his conveying away the patented land [ed.note: in 1788, Lincoln County, NC, "Jacob Glance" was noted on a "Confiscation List" and believed to have been a royalist]. Since Jeremiah and George Clontz (this is the spelling in the Revolutionary War Records) were both born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and since John Michael Clontz was still there in 1784, it is likely that they are his sons [John Michael] and that he was the same John Miachel Glantz who arrived in Philadephia, in 1732, as a 4-year old boy. Jeremiah Clontz remained in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and reared six children. Their names were Henry, Jeremiah, Jacob, Sarah, John Adam and Catherine. There are numerous descendants still in Charlotte and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina. In 1796, George Clonts purchased 100 acres of land in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, from his father-in-law, Jacob Cline (George married Chloe Cline, in August, 1783). The deed was dated 1796. In 1801, Christian Claunce was granted 90 acres in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. George sold his land to a John Clons on September 14, 1801, and Christian (Clance) sold his, July 27, 1802 and they and their immediate families both migrated west to Burke County. George moved in 1802 and both appear in Burke County in the 1810 census. In addition, Jacob Clontz who was 20-26 and John Clontz, who was over 45 were listed in Burke County in 1810. Christian was under 45 years of age and his oldest child was less than 16 years of age. It is likley that George, who was 51, Christian and John were brothers. Jacob was probably the son of George or John. In 1810, John only had daughters at home. Jacob was listed with two sons under 10 in 1810, but did not have any sons at home in 1820. By 1820, the only heads of household listed in Burke County were George Clonce, George, Jr., Christian, William and Jacob. Both Christian and George had sons named Michael - one born in 1797 and one born in 1803. The latter was George's son and he married Ann Stokes in Burke County, North Carolina, on April 12, 1828. * | Glantz, The Immigrant Hieronymus "Jeremiah" (I9054)

1128 | Thu 5/12/2016 9:02 AM Mimi's demise begins: Mimi was diagnosed with ?acute leukemia? Monday. We met with the specialist yesterday for blood & bone marrow tests. Friday he is to update us and recommend treatment(s). Will keep you in the loop? XXXOOO David Thu 5/12/2016 3:51 PM Family & Friends, Just checked her into Good Sam Hospital. The doctor is proceeding imme with chemotherapy and forecasts a 4-week stay. I pressed him on her chances and he evaded the question or reiterated how seriously ill she is? XXXOOO D. Wed 5/18/2016 10:34 AM Hello Family & Friends. Many thanks for your continued prayer & support? Mimi had a good night, as a matter of fact, she said she had the best night's sleep since she been in hospital. Her spirits are still high and she still has her hair! She's upbeat 'cause daughter Trudi arrives this morning. Got to pick her up? We love you all & Please do not respond? Thu 6/2/2016 4:39 PM Hello All. This is a direct quote from the doctor this morning; ?Bone marrow looks good so far. She is however very ill still - has developed severe pneumonia. Condition remains critical? I am delighted about the bone marrow which is encouraging. I do fear the fact that her body creates a gene, ?FLT-3?, which is not a good thing? Poor thing suffers as her insides are burnt from chemo, her mouth is full of sores, she is constantly in and out of a fever condition, her stomach aches, the hyper-fluids require contact trips to the toilet, et. al., ad infinitum? Every time I think of her there in the hospital, I fall to pieces? Many, many thanks for your cards, letters, gifts, phone calls & prayers. XOXOXO David June 2, 2016: Dearest Family & Friends. I can't believe she's gone. It was all so sudden. Thursday morning we had hope because of an encouraging blood report - Thursday evening she is gone. It still doesn't seem real? Fri 6/3/2016 7:07 AM We lost our my darling, sweet Mimi June 2, 2016, 6:58 PM due to respiratory complications from the leukemia. More details to follow? David Now the condolences begin...

I know I can't do much, but I can at least listen. I love you, Stef Fri 6/3/2016 7:50 AM I'm so very sorry to hear this news. I judge people by the happiness they bring to others. By this measure, Mimi seemed to be a great person indeed. Stay strong and we'll talk soon. Kevin Cully Fri 6/3/2016 8:31 AM Hi David, This is the email I was fearful of receiving. I hoped for so much more and miracles for Mimi. My heart clenches in sorrow for your loss because I know she was your everything. I will be in touch by mail outside of work. I am with you in kindest thoughts, Janna Fri 6/3/2016 9:02 AM I am so sorry, cuz. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family during this difficult time. I am here any time you need to talk. I know I can't do much, but I can at least listen. I love you, Stef Fri 6/3/2016 9:10 AM David, So sad. My heart goes out to you. I guess I didn't realize the state of her condition. My thoughts will be with you and her until I see you which I assume will be soon. I came anytime. Say when it will work for you. My bags are packed. Let's talk. Steve Fri 6/3/2016 10:17 AM Very sorry for your loss. Beautiful lady. Beautiful soul. So glad we got to visit with her this week. Mark Montgomery Fri 6/3/2016 12:09 PM I'm so sorry. Have no idea what your going through. Glad Mimi is not suffering anymore. Love, Jr Fri 6/3/2016 1:46 PM Precious David, I just loved Sheila, even though I didn't get to hang out with her much. She had the biggest heart and I was so thankful you had found each other. You know we ALL loved her because she was so good to you and ALL of us. I am glad you're going to Tennessee soon...that's exactly where you need to "fall." I should only have about 2 more days at school, but call me any time, if needed. Love to you, dawn Fri 6/3/2016 4:49 PM David, my thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and to Mimi's kids. It is such sad news. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Your friend, Jed Sat 6/4/2016 7:48 AM In my mind and heart Mimi's memory will never fade one bit. From the first time I was welcomed in my new job by a glass mug with flowers on it, to the many many times Sheila treated me to a handmade lunch or piece of amazing cornbread slathered in butter!! My picture of her will always be floating in the pool with a smile and a cocktail relaxing. I will always feel part of the family deeply and previously thanks to her joyful spark and open welcoming loving nature. Dana Sat 6/4/2016 8:29 AM David, this is such a beautiful tribute to her and written so well! I am happy to see you included the mother to all part. That is all I have thought about the last two days... for some reason it has stood out in my mind since you said that to me that one time during a conversation we were having. My heart is breaking for you. Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss or your wife and best friend. I know it is hard, but please make sure you take care of yourself and if you need help, don't be afraid to ask someone. Sending you lots of love, prayers, and hugs! (Stefani Hennessee) Sat 6/4/2016 9:05 AM Oh, David, I am so sorry to hear this sad, sad news. I know how much you've lost. Your every word and demeanor in our brief conversations told me how happy you were - happier than any time in all the years I've known. She is irreplaceable and nothing I can say will make any difference to what you'll miss. Grief, loss, the futility and injustice of losing someone you shouldn't. The pain is more and the price is higher because of the love you had. Just celebrate a lovely life, a darling fellow traveler, and remember those of us who care. Much love from me, Dave. My heart is yours Doug Doug Ramsdale 847 323-3372 Sat 6/4/2016 9:16 AM Thank you for sharing. Elle and I share in your grief and in the smiles of the memories we have with her. Thinking of you and the family. Mark (Montgomery) Sat 6/4/2016 10:05 AM David that's absolutely beautiful. She will be missed so dearly. We send you love and prayers from Illinois. Megan, Doug, Connor and Makena (Mynatt) Sat 6/4/2016 4:13 PM Dear David, the words you wrote about Mimi were so very beautiful. I am glad she is not suffering but so very heartbroken for you. She was your heart. What can we do? Can we send flowers for the service on Tuesday? Please let me know. I love you dear cousin, Karen (Mitchell) Sat 6/4/2016 5:28 PM Mimi was the kind of person that had a special heart, she would make you laugh when you down in the dumps, but she will change the way you feel. She had a love toward country music especially Luke Bryan. Mimi would be like the grandmother u never have, she would make you something or play with her little bird blue. Mimi had a sprit that could never be crush she would always be happy, and she was a fighter and dear friend to everyone Alexandra Cornell (Lexi) George's daughter Diva????????????= Sat 6/4/2016 5:33 PM My dear, dear friend...Please know that I'm hurting with you and for you and want you to know I'm here for you... ready to hug, to listen, to cry with you. What I do know is that Sheila completed you... I had never seen you so happy when she became a part of your life. This is what you need to remember. I love you! Colby Sun 6/5/2016 12:47 PM Precious David, You have endured much loss. I believe God didn't want you to shoulder any more burdens alone so He called Sheila to be faithful and walk beside you. She made you better and renewed your spark and hope. You may believe God called her home too soon because you still need a companion. I can see, as in my own life, that our needed companion was personified in our mothers' lives and for you, brought more into focus through Sheila's life. Lay yourself down at the feet of Jesus, who is waiting. I am specifically praying for you throughout the day for strength, clarity, and understanding. I love you so very much. You know my mama would have loved Sheila because they are kindred souls. Neither saw a problem, especially strife, without rolling up their sleeves and vanquishing it because that's what Jesus would do. I remember the way my mama looked at you, with immeasurable love. You know the look :) I stand with you, Cuz! Everlasting love, Dawn (Cline) Sun 6/5/2016 2:59 PM Very tragic David my friend, I cannot phone you, I will choke ( I am on prostate cancer treatment which makes me cry easily) Mimi was your only true soulmate. Since I have met you more than twenty five years ago I have never seen you so happy after you married Mimi, she instilled in you a calmness and a passion for life. Amanda and I are praying for you that God will help you fill this deep emptiness in your life Mimi was truly a flower, beautiful and she lit up the life of everybody around her She will rest in peace and her memory will live forever in our hearts Our sympathy is with her family and her children We wish you all the strength to face everyday with all those wonderful memories of Mimi PS: David you will always be our good friend and if you ever get the urge to visit this part of the world our house is wide open any time (Jan de Wit, Johannesburg, South Africa) Sun 6/5/2016 10:40 PM I too had the opportunity to benefit from the love and tenderness Aunt Mimi shared with all that had that fortune. I envy those of you that experienced it in abundance...if there's such a thing. Two things Mimi did for my Uncle Dave during their 17 years of marriage:: 1. She stole - She stole away all of his sorrows 2. She lied - She lied with him every night they were in their home What she could not do was "Cheat" - Cheat death. Now we are challenged to continue our lives without this wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt, friend to all, and wife to my Uncle. Let us find solace that she is in a better place and not suffering. And, remind ourselves daily to treat others as would Mimi. Love, Junior (Brett Craig) Sun 6/5/2016 10:53 PM My Dear Mr. David, I cannot believe that it was happen to my beautiful Mimi, yesterday, I was in the Super Market and I saw a nice lady very alike than our Mimi, I was crying asking to the Universe Why? Suddenly every thing changed? Ii I would like to write this for my Mimi: Mimi was a kind person with many virtues: she was a loving wife, a caring mother, a kindhearted and beloved friend, a person who loved her pets and who enjoyed working in her garden. Her beautiful and gracious green eyes always expressed her feelings. She was my American mother and will be deeply missed. Mimi departed this world, but her loving memory will always live in my heart. Rest in peace my Mimi. MY MOM!! I love you? Please let me know how are you going? Very concern about your health, in this sad moments we must be together to face our loss L With love, Chiki (Norma Gomez, Aukland, New Zealand) Mon 6/6/2016 9:27 AM Precious David, You have endured much loss.

I love you dear cousin, Karen Mon 6/6/2016 9:34 AM Thank you for sharing. Elle and I share in your grief and in the smiles of the memories we have with her. Thinking of you and the family. Mark Mon 6/6/2016 11:34 AM David, What can I share with my friend that could possibly give him solace? From my own experience I can tell you that SHE IS NOT GONE, as you say. When Christine died I could not imagine my life without her. There was a huge empty space filled with pain. And now after 27 years I can tell you that she has been with me all that time and will likely be the last thing I think of in my last moments. Because we cannot see her doesn't mean she isn't there. Talk to her every chance you get and her presence will become more real and you will be the lucky guy who gets to be with her for ever. Can there ever be a time when I won't be with you in thought or memory? We move to a new venue. You simply can't imagine it but Einstien proved it so. A conversation a day keeps the blues away. Steve (Levin) Mon 6/6/2016 11:49 AM "The Traveler" She has put on invisibility. Dear Lord, I cannot see--- But this I know although the road ascends And passes from my sight, That there will be no night; That You will take her gently by the hand And lead her on Along the road of life that never ends, And he will find it is not death but dawn. I do not doubt that You are there as here, And you will hold her dear. Our life did not begin with birth, It is not of the earth; And this that we call death, it is no more Than the opening and closing of a door--- And in Your house how many rooms must be Beyond this one where we rest momently. Dear Lord, I thank you for the faith that frees, The love that knows it cannot lose its own; The love that, looking through the shadows, sees That You and she and I are ever one For Sheila and Christine We will think of them with love in our hearts...everyday (Steven Levin) Mon 6/6/2016 1:23 PM Wrote this Mimi, I hope you will read it for her. When I first met Mimi, I loved her instantly. She was warm, quick witted, and had so much spunk. I thought for sure David would never be able to keep up with her. We clicked instantly, like she had known me my whole life and understood who I really was. I was able to visit Mimi and David several times and it was always a treat. Mimi grew amazing orchids and had 2 parakeets that she would let fly around the pool area while we lounged in paradise. Plus She always knew the best thrift stores to send me shopping. Mimi had a gentleness about her that made you instantly feel at home. She was an amazing women and it was easy to see how happy she made David and he made her. I am happy that she became a part our family, I will miss her smiling face. I love you Mimi. (Briena Harmening) Mon 6/6/2016 3:37 PM David, My times spent with Mimi were small sprints and interactions across several years. Dinners, visits to the house, short conversations - analogous to sound bites vs. a full length movie, or an after dinner drink vs. a bottle of wine. Because I knew you long before, and sadly, will know you long after Mimi has left us, I want to share my view of her impact on you. Mimi made you more of what you like to be Mimi made you less of what you don't like to be Mimi made you patient when it wasn't convenient Mimi made you feel loved when others couldn't Mimi made it easy for you to love where you once thought you may not Mimi made you feel accepted for who you are Mimi made you feel served, where others wanted to be served Mimi made you want to serve her Mimi made you a good husband Mimi made you appreciate a good wife Mimi made your time your time, and was happy with her time Mimi made your time together special She was your perfect compliment, and while we will miss her terribly, you will still be better every day because of her...for the rest of your years. May she rest in peace, and may you find smiles in her memory. Mark Mon 6/6/2016 5:56 PM Dear David, wish I could be there and give you "bushels" per Aunt Pearl, of hugs and kisses. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you and all of Mimi's family tomorrow. She was your sunshine. And brought alot of sunshine to all of us with her kindness, sense of humor and Ma-like sweetness. Lisa, Kenny, Dawn and I sent a flower arrangement. Beautiful colors just like a beautiful Mimi. We love you, Karen and Emily Mon 6/6/2016 7:26 PM Sheila Hennessee personified the words on the needlework my Mother completed that hangs in my home. "The love in you heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love until it is given away." Sheila graciously gave the love in her heart away. Sheila loved and was loved by many. I only met her once, but had such a wonderful time with her. I was fortunate to enjoy email, phone and facebook conversations with Sheila. Always kind, sweet and caring, I could feel the smile through the phone lines when we talked. My cousin David adored her, she the light of his life. I am happy that they found each other, as their existence together was a testament to how rich life can really be. I thank God for bringing Sheila into our lives, will always cherish her and feel blessed by knowing her. Cousin Karen Sue Mon 6/6/2016 11:17 PM My story of Mimi from Kenny It was in the fall of 2015, one day I'll never forget. Mimi and I had the most wonderful day together. She and David had visited the farm one evening, stayed over night and the next day, Mimi and I had such a great day. She was so excited to ride the four wheeler around the farm and see all the cattle and babies that had been born and as fate would have it, we went down to the woods and there stood a little newborn calve, a little girl. We tagged the girl calve which her number was/is number 1 which I sent to Matt, her son a picture. She was so excited to watch it and get it's first milk. From that day on, I would always ask her, "how's my cowgirl?" And, by the way, if you knew Mimi at all, you know she would try anything once. She had to drive my new tractor that day as well which she called, Big Red, but to my amazement she did so, so, so good driving my new tractor, "Big Red." We moved hay rings that day from one field to another and she seemed to have the time of her life. We spent all day working around the farm but it wasn't work at all between us. We laughed, joked and just hung out together. I had such a great time and I sure hope she did as well. She made my day and I will forever remember and Love her. She was my friend and I will miss her. I will miss her kind, loving words, her jokes, her texts. She was a special lady and I am honored to have known her for the time I did. I'm thankful she was a kind, loving wife to my cousin David and I will never forget that day she and David came to visit with me at the farm. I will cherish those moments and I will always hold them close to my heart.

Cousin Karen Sue Tue 6/7/2016 10:56 AM David, We've had you on our minds every day and wishing there was something we could do to ease what you're going through. There is no way we can know how you feel, only imagine how hard the loss of Sheila is. Wish we could be there with you today, but know that our hearts are with you, our arms are hugging you and we will hope that you will be given a measure of grace to be able to celebrate Sheila's beautiful life. We love you so very much, Kathy and David (Tugman) end of comments | Mynatt, Sheila Ann "Mimi" (I27517)

1148 | Uncle Fred was in the Navy, Gunner's Mate 3rd Class, during WW II and assigned to the destroyer-class, US Leutze DD 481 which was commissioned March 4, 1944 at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington. Vessel's History from Wikipedia.org Leutze completed the necessary performance trials and continued the training of her crew on escort missions to Pearl Harbor and Eniwetok during June and July 1944. On 2 August she departed Seattle for the war zone a sleek new destroyer and returned 1 year and 1 day later a battered veteran about to be scrapped. In this short interval she had played a part in five invasions and a major naval battle before a kamikaze ended her fighting days. After departing Seattle, Washington, the destroyer rehearsed in the Hawaiian and Solomon Islands for the invasion of the Palaus . Arriving off Peleliu 12 September (D-Day -3), Leutze bombarded enemy positions ashore and suffered her first casualty when shrapnel from an enemy shell sprayed the ship. Withdrawn on the 24th, she joined Task Group 77.2 (TG 77.2) at Manus Island , Admiralties , for the invasion of the strategically important Philippines . Action off Leyte began 18 October with little serious opposition to the preinvasion bombardment but rose to a crescendo climax with the Battle of Leyte Gulf 24 and 25 October. Leutze, first firing on an enemy plane two days earlier, suffered 11 casualties on the morning of the 24th when hit during an enemy bombing and strafing run. That night in Surigao Straits with Rear Adm. Jesse B. Oldendorf ?s 7th Fleet support ships, she attacked with torpedoes the ships of Japan ?s Southern Force under Adm. Shoji Nishimura . During this phase of the last major battle between surface ships, Nishimura lost two battleships and three destroyers in a vain attempt to force his way through the Straits and attack the American invasion fleet. Thereafter with its surface fleet decimated, Japan again resorted to airstrikes. Although Leutze emerged unscratched, on a single day 1 November, four sister ships of her screen were crashed by suicide planes. After a period of tender overhaul, she steamed out of Kossol Roads 1 January 1945 for the invasion of Lingayen Gulf , Luzon , Philippines. En route the ship received ice cream for all hands for returning a sailor fallen overboard from Makin Island (CVE-93). She arrived in Lingayen Gulf 6 January for fire support. While supporting this operation, Leutze 7 January sank a Japanese patrol vessel and 9 January a small suicide boat loaded with explosives. Careful preparations were made for the next assault. Iwo Jima , desired as an airfield site, was selected as the target. Practicing with underwater demolition teams at Ulithi and conducting exercises until beyond Saipan , Leutze arrived Iwo Jima 16 February. Despite intensive previous bombing and shelling, enemy fire was heavy. While protecting Navy frogmen on the 17th, she took, a shell on the after part of the forward stack. Remaining until the completion of her mission, she then transferred her seriously wounded commanding officer and three other injured and resumed station. Ordered back to Ulithi the next day for repairs, she returned to Iwo Jima early in March but only for 4 days, as much of this fleet was now needed for Operation Iceberg , the conquest of Okinawa . This last big amphibious operation of the war, unlike Iwo Jima, took place within range of Japanese land-based planes. While escorting battleship New York (BB-34) for the preinvasion shelling of 27 March, Leutze made two depth charge runs which apparently sank a midget submarine . On a second voyage with Mobile (CL-63) and Oakland (CL-95), she arrived Okinawa 3 April. This was 2 days after D-Day but in time for the first of the Japanese operations ?Ten Go?, the massed kamikaze attacks. end of history | Byars, Fred Swindell (I706)
