Read More	He is the son of George Wallace and Dorthea (Steckleberg) Templin. He served in the U. S. Military as a Private assigned to the 57th Field Artillery. Neligh News, Neligh, Nebraska, Thursday, April 2, 1942 PVT. BERNIE TEMPLIN SUCCUMBS AS RESULT OF FREAK ARMY ACCIDENT The War Department last Thursday notified Walt G. Templin by telegram of the death of his son, Bernie, 22 , at the Letterman General Hospital, San Francisco, California. Templin, a private, was drafted and called into service last October from the state of Oregon. The circumstances under which Templin met his death were described by the War Department chaplain at the Letterman Hospital as the result of a freak accident that occurred March 12th. It appears that he and another solider, both stationed at Camp McQuaide, California, were having a friendly scuffle when Bernie slipped and fell and the other man fell on top of him. Bernie suffered a fractured spine with injury to the spinal cord and the resulting paralysis failed to respond to treatment ending in his death March 26th. His only brother, Warrant Officer Wallace Templin, who is station at Portland, Oregon, went to the bedside of his brother and was with him most of the fourteen days preceeding his death. The message to the father stated also that his son's wife was with him to the last. It was the first news the senior Templin had of his son's marriage. Bernie left Neligh about six years ago for Idaho where he worked for a time and later went to Oregon where he was employed in a lead mine at the time he was called into the army on October 1st under the selective service law. The Templin family came to Neligh in 1919 and resided on a farm north of here until Mrs. Templin passed away about eight years ago, whereupon they moved to town. Bernie was employed for a time at the local Union Store as clerk and later by A. W. Kindler who operated a delivery service, then he left for Idaho. The boy's body was returned to Neligh for burial. Funeral was today (Wednesday) and the Antelope Post of the American Legion had charge at the grave. Templin was born 7 July 1919, at Manila, Iowa. Besides his father, Walt G. Templin of Neligh, he is survived by his widow of San Francisco; two sisters Miss Goldie Templin and Mrs. Lyle Daniels, of Fremont, Nebraska, and one brother, Wallace, of Portland, Oregon. Templin's death is the first fatality, at the present, from this community and the second from Antelope County . Donald Yates, Clearwater, was the first in the county. He was lost on the U.S.S. Houston in the Java sea.
