• Notes

  Married: The Homer and Katie love story --- They were dating and in love - they postponed marriage until Homer could provide for Katie. Katie tells that whenever they walked down the street Homer would reach out for her hand, reassurance that she was by his side. Then WWI came along. Before Homer left he gave Katie a lovely necklace and asked her to wait for him - she was quite beautiful, I'm sure Homer didn't want one of the other boys to "steal" her. Upon his return from the wilds of war (spent entirely in San Antonio, TX), they were married. Interesting to note - Homer's son also married a beautiful woman he was very much in love with, she also became a teacher, they, too were prone to holding hands. Both romances, Homer's and Mack's, were cut short by unexpected death - Homer himself died suddenly of heart attack and Debbie (Mack's wife) died suddenly as well. Throughout their marriage, Homer and Katie were active members of the American Legion, and regular supporters of Cal Farley's Boys Ranch. Katie was a member of the American Red Cross, Homer participated in the Boy Scouts
