HARVEY COUNTY— A Navy seaman’s remains returned to Kansas this weekend, 75 years after he was killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Lewis Lowell Wagoner’s remains were flown Friday to Wichita.

On Saturday, the Patriot Guard and Harvey County Sheriff Deputies escorted Seaman 2nd Class Lewis Lowell Wagoner to his final resting place.

Wagoner was 20 when he was declared missing after the Dec. 7, 1941, surprise attack that propelled the United States into World War II.

Wagoner was aboard the USS Oklahoma when it and other U.S. warships were hit by torpedoes.

The battleship Oklahoma capsized quickly. Thirty-two men were rescued, but 14 Marines and 415 sailors were killed and largely were buried as “unknowns” in a Hawaii cemetery.

Many of those remains were disinterred for modern DNA testing that only recently identified Wagoner and roughly 30 others.
