Vegetable Farm. He worked on this farm until October 6, 1917
when
he enlisted in the U.S. Army. From Camp Devens he went to
Gordon,
Georgia where he joined Battery
B, 319th Field Artillery, 82nd division. He was
eventually mustered overseas on May 19, 1918. He was wounded
in
France on October

Offensive. He died the following day and was buried
in
France. In 1921 his remains were returned to Auburn for
internment at Hillside
Cemetery.
