The body of Ensign Marcus Erwin, one of the three naval officers who lost their lives in the breech flare-back aboard the U.S.S. Mississippi yesterday, will be brought to Asheville for burial. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Erwin of Asheville. Mr. Erwin is an attorney and is the Democratic nominee for representative from Buncombe County. The Ensign was graduated from Annapolis last June.
