Donald Ross moved to Kelsey City (later renamed Lake Park) in 1928 where he spent his childhood days roller skating along Dixie Highway and rowing to Singer Island for overnight camping trips. Lt. Ross led the 191st Tank Battalion in North Africa where his heroism earned him the Silver Star. Upon discovering wounded American soldiers pinned down by enemy fire, Ross put himself in harm’s way by circling his tanks around his comrades, allowing them time to escape. Ross later lost his life near Ramagen, France during the Battle of the Bulge, becoming the first Lake Park resident to die in the war.

Ellison Wilson moved from Wilder, Tenn. to Palm Beach County in 1923 at the age of 15. He and his father built their home along the Intracoastal Waterway in Lake Park only to see their house destroyed in the Hurricane of 1928. Wilson served honorably in the Army during World War II. He lost his life defending the country on Dec. 28, 1944 in Belgium.
