Research note

What the surviving sources tell us.

A World War I veteran. He was a charter member of Marysville Barracks No. 142, Veterans of World War I, and its first senior vice commander in 1954, helped organize other barracks in the state, and in 1965 was named one of the Barracks’ historians with Jack Nelson. In 1971 he was elected senior vice commander of the state department.

The local ledger transcription gives June 30, 1934. The USPS record instead lists an acting appointment on June 1, 1934, followed by the postmaster appointment on March 21, 1935.
