Wahrmund Family - Veterans, Wars & Records

Some time ago, doing my research related to the Wahrmund family, I came across Veterans of Gillespie County Photo Album.

WWII

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, "Harper Herald" published an article that contained the information on the Gillespie man who had been in the Pacific Ocean on 6 December. The article mentioned also Louis Wahrmund who served on the tug boat USS Sunnandin (AT-28). The craft was in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked by the Japanese army (36).


Louis Martin Wahrmund was born on 3 August 1920 in Fredericksburg Texas to Mr. Kurt Wahrmund and Miss Bertha Ingenhuett (37).


Louis was enlisted on 9 October 1937, he was on board of Sunnadin on 7 August 1939. He was seaman 2nd class then. The records show Louis served with COMSERVPAC (service Force) a support command of the United States Pacific Fleet (38). On 18 March 1945, the man was promoted to chief yeoman (39). Louis Martin was on Sunnandin's muster roll till the end of the war.
A few years later, on 28 Nov. 1953, Louis was commissioned and became an ensign, his signal number was 24187, he was registered as a limited duty officer (40).

I found more details about Louis Martin Wahrmund and his career in the Biographic Register of the Department of State (41).


Transcription
The note states he was married but I did not find who his wife was.  L.M. Wahrmund graduated from Hawaiian University with a Bachelor's degree in 1949. As I found out earlier, he was with the US Navy from 1937 to 1945. Up to 1962, he served as lieutenant commander overseas.

Louis' private experience

From 1962 to 1964 he worked as an English teacher in public schools,
when he quit teaching he worked for Agency for International Development.
From 1963 to 1964 he was an administrative assistant overseas contractor (in Saigon R-5 area development officer April 1964, operating deputy officer October 1964),
R-4 deputy regional director August 1966,
Agency employee development officer August 1966,
Vientianne area coordinator April 1967,
Saigon assistant development officer in February 1969.

Louis Martin Wahrmund probably passed in 1964 but I did not come across any details on the day of his death.
