Beaver County’s first fatality at Pearl Harbor will be remembered this weekend. 2nd Lt. Louis Gustav Moslener Junior is the first from Beaver County to be killed in action in a surprise attack by Japanese forces on Pearl Harbor, a U-S naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii on December 7th, 1941. Moslener is buried in Beaver Cemetery, located on Buffalo Street in Beaver. Saturday marks the third year that a memorial ceremony will be held at Moslener’s grave, and it will be open to the public. Those attending are asked to gather at 12:30 pm. Opening remarks will be given at 12:55, which approximates the time Pearl Harbor was bombed. Moslener’s grave is at the first right turn after entering the cemetery and a block down on the left.
