Pearl Harbor Veteran Rests At St. Mary Cemetery
In 2016, a 75-year war story concluded as Elyria Sailor Rudolph Piskuran came to rest among St. Mary Cemetery Memorials. The son of Hungarian immigrants William and Julia Piskuran, he was a 1940 graduate of Elyria High School before enlisting in the United States Navy.
“Rudy” was just 19-years-old when he died as a proud member of the USS Oklahoma. On December 7, 1941, Japanese airplanes torpedoed and capsized the battleship killing 415 sailors and 15 marines aboard.
The attack launched the United States into World War II.
“I’m just glad he’s laid to rest.. and I know he’s with his mom and dad, where he needs to be.”
Piskuran Neice – Iiona Menner
In April 2015, a change in policy by the Department of Defense allowed for previously unidentified remains of Pearl Harbor victims to be exhumed and examined through DNA testing.
According to reports, Piskuran had originally been buried in a mass grave at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
