Henry Ellis Nolatubby was born Jan. 11, 1922, in New Mexico to James Nolatubbee, a cobbler, and Henryetta Panick Nolatubby, a homemaker. The father and son — who spelled their last names differently — were members of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma. Henry attended Chilocco Indian Agricultural School, a boarding school near the Oklahoma-Kansas state line. He graduated in the class of 1939.
By the time of the Census in the spring of 1940, he was living with his mother and sister, Juanita, in Oklahoma City. All three worked to make ends meet. Henryetta was a seamstress for the Works Progress Administration, a federal Depression-era jobs program. Juanita was a waitress and Henry a baker. He was employed for 15 weeks in 1939 and earned $270.
Mr. Nolatubby enlisted in the Marines on June 22, 1940, and was a gunnery private first class when he was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.
The student council at Chilocco constructed a limestone memorial in 1947 to classmates who died in World War II. Mr. Nolatubby was the first.

Private 1st Class Henry E. Nolatubby MIA/KIA
Hometown: Maysville Oklahoma
Service # 286279
Awards: Purple Heart
Captain: Isaac C. Kidd MIA/KIA
Mission: Sea Duty
Ship: USS ARIZONA BB-39
Loss Date: 7-Dec-41
Location: Pearl Harbor
Fate: Sunk by Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers,
Complement: 1,512 1,177 killed
Shortly before 08:00 local time on 7 December 1941, Japanese aircraft from six aircraft carriers struck the Pacific Fleet as it lay in port at Pearl Harbor, and wrought devastation on the battle line and on the facilities defending Hawaii. On board Arizona, the ship's air raid alarm went off about 07:55, and the ship went to general quarters soon thereafter. Shortly after 08:00, the ship was attacked by 10 Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers, five each from the carriers Kaga and Hiryū. All of the B5Ns were carrying 410-millimeter (16.1 in) armor-piercing shells modified into 797-kilogram (1,757 lb) aircraft bombs. Flying at an estimated altitude of 3,000 meters (9,800 ft), Kaga's aircraft bombed from amidships to the ship's stern and were followed shortly afterward by Hiryu's bombers which bombed the bow area.
The bombers scored four hits and three near misses on and around Arizona. The near miss off the port bow is believed to have caused observers to believe that the ship had been torpedoed, although no torpedo damage has been found. The sternnmost bomb ricocheted off the face of Turret IV and penetrated the deck to detonate in the captain's pantry, causing a small fire. The next forwardmost hit was near the port edge of the ship, abreast the mainmast, probably detonating in the area of the anti-torpedo bulkhead. The next bomb struck near the port rear 5-inch AA gun.
Private 1st Class Nolatubby appears Tablets of the Missing Honolulu Memorial Honolulu Hawaii. He also has a cenotaph memorial Fort Bliss National Cemetery El Paso El Paso County Texas, USA his body was never recovered.
