442nd Soldiers Have Visitors
From Hattiesburg American July 3, 1943
Mrs. J. T. Barrett, and Chaplain Barrett are expecting Mrs. Barrett’s sister of Jackson, Tenn., at the beginning of the week. The Barrett’s are located at the Woman’s College. Mrs. Barrett was on the Post to attend the 442nd Combat Team review which was followed by a dance at the Officers Club.
They look more like school girls, one with red hair-ribbon bow and socks to match her white dress with red trimmings, and the other with brown and white striped frock with white blouse; both enjoying ice cream cones. However, they were army wives: Mrs. Fred Matsumoto and Mrs. Frank Segawa, of Los Angeles. Joining them was another army wife, Mrs. Goro Tsuchita, Chicago. Their husbands are all with Co. M, 442nd Inf. The last named is a transfer from Camp Phillips, Kansas.

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
