I have removed Loyd Ray Mantooth from Brown County's original Honor Roll simply because we have not found any evidence that he had connection to Brown County. His hometown Wichita Falls, Texas. He is not listed as a casualty on the Brown County list, but he is listed on the original WWII memorial at Coggin Park, Brownwood, Texas.

Loyd Ray Mantooth born 17 September 1922 in Holliday, Archer County, Texas to Myrtle Irene Brinlee (b. 1900 Collin County, Texas - d. 1970 Sherman, Texas) and James Wilborn Mantooth (b. 1888 Altoga, Texas - d. 1976 Bloomington, Illinois).
