Lieutenant, Jr. Grade John Francis Craven of Evansville, Indiana and the United States
Navy, s/n 0-063822, was declared killed in action December 15, 1945, while serving in the
South Pacific during World War II. He is missing or buried at sea. His name is honored on
the "Tablets of the Missing" at Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
This reference was found on the Indiana State Library website; World War II database. We
do not have access to this info since we are in the Philippines and hope someone will hlep
us out and send it. No doubt it will enhance our chances of finding the family of John
Francis Craven so we can give them the free photos of their loved one's grave site.
