FLAT GAP, Ky. (AP)<\/span> \u2014 The remains of a northeastern Kentucky soldier who disappeared during the Korean War are set to be buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Army used comparisons with known relatives of Cpl. Lonald D. Skeens of Denver, Kentucky, to match his remains to those of an unidentified soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeens’ sister, Sylvia Cantrell, told The Independent<\/a>(http:\/\/bit.ly\/1xWD2rw<\/a> ) <\/span>her brother will be buried at 2 p.m. Sunday in Flat Gap beside his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeens was 19-years-old and a member of Company E, 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division when his unit was overrun by enemy forces near Haman, South Korea, on Sept. 3, 1950. He was buried as an unknown in the U.N. Cemetery at Tanggok, South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
