ROSCOE PETERSEN
Roscoe Petersen, 23 year old son of Arthur and Gladys Petersen, who was on board the U. S. S. Arizona when it was sunk at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Dec. 7th, is reported missing by the Navy Department.
The fateful message came to the mother who is residing in Crescent City, from which city Roscoe enlisted two years ago.
His father, Roscoe Petersen, and an older brother, James, operated the meat department at the Marin Food Center, in San Rafael.
