Children of C
ORA LANE and SAMUEL MCQUEEN are:
  i.   VIOLET LORAIN15 MCQUEEN, b. April 8, 1907, Purdy, Barry, Missouri; m. GEORGE WOODARD NORTHCUTT, September 5, 1926, Purdy, Barry, Missouri; b. September 6, 1905, Washburn, Barry, Missouri; d. November 28, 1989, Seminole, Seminole, Oklahoma.
  Notes for VIOLET LORAIN MCQUEEN:
!Violet Lorain McQueen b. 4/8/1907 at Purdy, Mo., married George Woodard Northcutt 9/5/1926 at Purdy, Mo. George was born 9/6/1905 at Washburn, Mo., died 11/28/1989 at Seminole, Ok. He was the son of Dr. Leon Blum Northcutt and his wife, Margaret Tennessee Woodard (George's middle name). George retired from Exxon. When he was 82 years old he received a letter from Exxon requesting him to return to work as a consultant for a "ridiculous amount of money". George is buried at Little Cemetery at Seminole, Ok. They had no children of their own, but raised many. Violet is an extraordinary cook, grew flowers and did for others. Violet remembers her dad, Samuel Patton McQueen, telling her the family was originally from Ireland.

In all of Violet's old pictures (dating late 1800's and early 1900's) she is sitting in Grandfather Wilson Lane's lap. She was his favorite. When her cousins wanted anything, they would have Violet ask. They always got what she asked for. When Cora, Violet's mother, died in 1915 she had just turned 8 years old. She lived with her father caring for her younger brother, my Grandfather. Her father, Samuel Patton, was very strict. Violet remembers her father telling her she could not do things (like have boys over or dance) because she didn't have a mother, people would not think it proper. Violet's father remarried after one year and Violet had trouble accepting her new mother. After awhile she was sent to live with her aunts. Aunt Rilda Lane Cowherd took Violet in. She taught her how to sew, can, cook, and grow flowers. Her Grandmother, Eliza Long Lane, died in 1919 and Grandfather Wilson Lane married the maid. The aunts all thought it a disgrace. They refused to have anything further to do with their father and were very upset that Violet did. Grandfather Lane distributed his land and home to his heirs and moved to town and build a new home. Violet went to live with Grandfather Lane and Grace. She had her own room above the parlor. She was allowed to have visitors in the parlor, where they could dance to the tune of the player piano. Grandfather Lane left Violet some land and George and her build a home there. They later sold it and moved to Oklahoma. Violet always kept the money from the Lane land separate and later used it as a down payment on her house in Seminole, Oklahoma. She has left this to the family to be passed on through her heirs. Violet just turned 90 years old (this is 1997) and in a nursing home in Seminole due to a broken hip. She is still just as sharp as a tack and in great spirits.

George was a fix-it man. When they stopped making parts for his pickup he made his own. He invented more than one thing but gave the invention to his company. He did not want a lot of money, he said "Money is the root of all evil." Violet and George had nice things and took very good care of everything. Every item they purchased they immediately dedicated to God and asked that they have the wisdom to use it in God's name. They visited the sick and elderly on a regular schedule. They spent one day a week running errands for people that needed assistance and always spend Sunday at the nursing home after they had picked up and dropped off all people that were unable to drive themselves to church. They grew a huge garden every year and enjoyed sharing it with friends and family. They were constantly planting things. They would stop on the side of the road or an vacated lot and get starts of shrubs and flowers. Violet started oak trees from acorns and they are now 40' tall. Their home looks like it belongs on the front of a magazine, huge trees and beautiful shrubs everywhere. Violet was a wonderful cook. She canned and cooked constantly. It was a family joke that if the big bomb hit we would all hightail it to Violet and George's where we would have everything we needed until everything cleared. Violet and George were devoted Christians. They didn't preach with words but by actions, living the example. They grew almost everything they ate, beef, chicken, vegetables, and fruit. They were in very good health spiritually and physically.

Website on WWII 11th Airborne Div. at http://members.aol.com/dickhoyt/index.html
1945
In late January the 1st Cavalry Division and 37th Infant ry Divisions
attacked Manila, Luzon, Philippine Islands from the North while the 11th
Airborne Division attacked from the south. The First Cav sent a "flying squadron" into Manila to liberate the civlian prisoners interred at Santo
Tomas University; they had been prisoners for over three years . Manila was
liberated on Feb 5th.

To alleviate overcrowding at Santa Tomas, in 1944 the Japanese established
a new prison camp at Los Baņos, about 40 miles SW of Manila, it was the
site of the Philippine Agricultural College. There were 2,147 prisoners here. After the liberation of Manila, the retreating Japanese forces planned to execute all the prisoners in Los Baņos. General MacArthur ordered the 11th Airborne Division to rescue them.

The Recon Company and a large force of Filipino guerrillas infiltrated the area around the camp prior to the planned attack on Los Baņos. It had been
learned that the Japanese did their morning calistenics at 0700. Company B, 511th Parachute Infantry (re-inforced) planned their aerial assault on the camp for that hour. The 511th PIR embarked on Amtracs of the 672nd Amtrac Bn early on the morning of Feb 23rd and crossed the large inland lake on which the town of Los Baņ was situated on its eastern shore. As the first parachutes opened, the Recon company and the guerrillas opened fire on the Japanese. The defenders were wiped out. The Amtracs landed and troopers immediately rounded up the prisoners and loaded them onto the Amtracs, to be evacuated back across the lake behind friendly lines.

By noon the evacuation was complete with no loss of life of the prisoners or
American troops Two Filipino guerrillas were killed. A monument at Los Baņos has been erected in their honor. Other troops of the 11th Airborne Division had taken up road-blocking positions to prevent Japanese re-inforcements from reaching Los Baņos, 25 miles behind enemy lines. This has been proclaimed the most perfectly planned and executed rescue by American forces and is taught at the War College as an example.

The civilians were Allied business-men, nuns, priests, missionaries, nurses, tourists, etc. who were in the Philippines when the Japanese captured them in 1942. As they had been praying for over three years to be rescued, they said that the paratroopers "looked like Angels coming down from Heaven to rescue them", and that is how our division gained its nickname "The Angels".

Every year around this time our Chapters hold "Los Baņos Remembrance
Dinners" in honor of this exploit. Many former Internees attend these meetings and thank their rescuers .
