It is great sport and entails some risk, too, but I have been very fortunate. I succeeded in getting several wild boars, and not having a single accident.

He reported he had been a runner in the Verdun area during the war and that he had been promoted to bugler for his battalion in the Twentieth Engineers. He also reported about hunting wild boars and having a Christmas tree for the French children. He was born on March 22, 1898 in Hot Springs, Arkansas and died on July 5, 1959. He is buried in the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee. His military headstone identifies him as Tennessee, SGT MTC serving in World War I.
