Alfred Eugene Livingston of Worthington, Indiana lost his life on December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, while serving with the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Oklahoma. He was 23 years old at the time, born in Worthington in Greene County, Indiana, on August 30, 1918, the son of Lenora Livingston Price and grandson of Henry and Alvira Livingston who raised him.
