Honored Names to be Added to County's WWII Memorial

 Here are the names of 46 newly identified Tioga County veterans who were killed in action or died of war wounds during World War II.
 Their honored names are missing from the granite World War II memorial on the south lawn of the courthouse in Owego. These names will be added soon to the memorial, which was dedicated on Veterans' Day in 1987.
