Claire Goldtrap has traveled all over the country since he died 75 years ago.
His bones have been to Hawaii. He left his heart in Missouri. His spirit visited Minnesota.
It was in the North Star State where a fellow Sooner found him.
“That’s who it is,” said Sheridean McMahan. “That’s him.”
On a recent Friday morning in the living room of her home in Jones, McMahan described the moment she realized she held a piece of Goldtrap, a Hobart native who died in World War II.
