17 when he enlisted, William himself volunteered in Co. K, 112 PA Hvy Arty.
He said he had slight rheumatism when he enlisted. He hadn't filed for a
pension because he had rheumatism before he volunteered. He said he
enlisted because their son, Henry, had died and that took away their chief
support from them.
