S. navy that McHenry's first navy casualty had occurred. The short telegram came to Mr. and Airs., Ben J. Miller, telling them that their son, Ernest, at that time the pnly county boy in submarine service, was missing. A year and a day later another communication waa received stating that after' the customary length of time Ernest had been listed as dead. This week agaifi a letter and certificate arrived at the Miller home, along with a registered package containing the Purple Heart award, given posthumously for wounds received in action which resulted in Ernest's death. The Purple Heart was originated on August 7, 1782, by George Washington, making the 'award much older than most of us think. The certificate received by the Millers was signed by the late Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox, a'nd wa§ probably one of the li$t pieces of his work, it having been, signed about the middle of April.
