From http://www.fortunecity.com/millennium/celesteville/170/his_mipe.htm: John was born in March 1891. He married Blanche Kolbe and they did not have any children. He served in the United States Marines during World War I. Fighting in the battle of Bella Woods he inhaled "Mustard Gas" released by the German troops. The gas weakened his lungs and he contacted the Tuberculosis that eventually killed him. He died at his home in West University, Texas on March 1, 1940 and is buried in the Hempstead cemetery. After he died, Blanche started working for Harris County and became the head matron for the women's section of the Harris County Jail. |
