The Worthington Times

Worthington, Indiana made the New York Times!

Our little hometown was mentioned in an article by Nina Bernstein called "Still Trying to Bring Their Fallen Heroes Home." The story was published on February 3, 2008 and it might have appeared on the front page of the regional edition.

The story is about identifying and returning the World War II unknown soldiers, sailors, marines and others home, finally, after all these years. In the middle, the author mentions Alfred Livingston's return and burial in the Worthington Cemetery last summer....

Last year a sailor killed at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and buried as an unknown in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, was exhumed, identified as Alfred E. Livingston, and reburied in Worthington, Ind., his hometown.  

Read it and enjoy Alfred's and Worthington's moment in the NYT now because (I could be mistaken) I believe stories on that site are available to the public for a limited time before they move into the archives where one must pay an access fee to read - don't know how long they leave the stories up for free.

Here's a link to the story:
