Joseph Francis Pruett, Dayton, OH, 1922-1943
I am looking for information on Joseph Francis Pruett who was born in 1922 and resided in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio.He was the son of Luther Madison and Bridget O'Conner Pruett.Joseph joined the Army after Pearl Harbor and was assigned to Eglin AFB, FL.In 1943 Joseph's parents were notified that Joseph had gone AWOL.He was missing for several days.His body was found washed up on a beach on the Gulf of Mexico, near Eglin AFB.To this day, his family has no idea what happened to him.The military provided very little information on what happened.If anyone has any information about Joseph's disappearance and death, please share it with me.Joseph was my husband's great uncle and his two nieces, to whom he was very close, would like to know what happened to their uncle.
