• Notes

  CALLED WILLARD REFERENCES: CAUDLE(4), PRESTON MILFORD, UNPUBLISHED RESEARCH ON JOHN JEFFERSON CAUDLE'S FAMILY, 2326 KENT COURT, WALDORF, MARYLAND 20602-2212, 1967 TO PRESENT. ENLISTED IN THE U.S. ARMY 11 JULY 1889 AT COLUMBUS BARRACKS BY CAPTAIN LINCOLN. WILLARD WAS 22 AT THE TIME. HE WAS A FARMER. HE HAD BLUE EYES, BROWN HAIR, RUDDY COMPLEXION, AND HE WAS ABOUT 5 FEET 8 3/4 INCHES TALL. HE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE 20 INFANTRY, COMPANIES I AND B. HE WAS DISCHARGED AT CAMP POPULAR RIVER, MONTANA 29 APRIL 1892. AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE HE WAS A PRIVATE WITH EXCELLENT CHARACTER INFORMATION. I OBTAINED THIS INFORMATION FROM THE REGISTER OF ENLISTMENTS, LINE 389, PAGE 240 WHICH WAS ON FILE WITH THE GENERAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATION'S ARCHIVES IN WASHINGTON D.C. REGISTER OF ENLISTMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY ------------------------------------------------- COPY PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES NO. 389; NAME: CAUDLE, WILLARD S.; WHEN: JULY 25, 1889; ENLISTED: DATE: 11 JULY 1889, WHERE: COLUMBUS BKS [BARRACKS] 0, BY WHOM: CPT. LINCOLN; WHERE BORN: LAWRENCE CO., ILL.; AGE: 22.7; OCCUPATION: FARMER; DESCRIPTION [OF] EYES: BLUE, HAIR: D. BRO. [DARK BROWN], COMPLEXION: RUDDY, HEIGHT: 5 '8 3/4"; REGIMENT: 20 INF[ANTRY]; CO[MPANY]: I [&] B; REMARKS: DISCH'D [DISCHARGED] APR[IL] 29/[18]92; S.O. [SPECIAL ORDER] 96, A.G.O.[ARMY GROUP ORDER] -92 [1892]; CAMP POPLAR RIVER, MONT[ANA].; A PVT. [PRIVATE]; CHAR[ACTER]: EXELT [EXCELLENT]. ACCORDING TO JACK, WILLARD WENT TO WYOMING ABOUT 1906 0R 1907. ACCORDING TO EARL HAYES' WIFE, ELIZABETH MCDONALD HAYES, WILLARD SWAPPED A BLANKET FOR AN INDIAN SQAW IN OKLAHOMA. SHE BORE HIM A DAUGHTER WHO LATER VISITED WILLARD WHEN HE LIVED IN ARKANSAS. ELIZABETH THOUGHT THE DAUGHTER LIVED IN CHICAGO. EDITH MCDONALD, A NEICE OF WILLARD'S SECOND WIFE, BELLE PATTERSON WITHAM-CAUDLE, KNEW A LOT ABOUT WILLARD. SHE LIVED AT LESTER, ARKANSAS WHICH IS NEAR LAKE CITY. I FOUND A RECORD IN THE COURTHOUSE FROM PARAGOULD'S POLICE RECORDS THAT SHOWED WILLARD WAS ARRESTED FOR BEING DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. HE ATTACKED A POLICE OFFICER. THE RECORD WAS DATED 1897, PAGE 18 - 19. DADDY HAD PREVIOUSLY TOLD EARL AND I THE STORY. HE SAID WILLARD WAS SICK WITH A FEVER AND WAS STAGGERING. THE POLICE THOUGHT HE WAS DRUNK AND TRIED TO ARREST HIM. HE BROKE THE HANDCUFFS AND GRABBED THE POLICEMAN. WHEN I TOLD DADDY ABOUT THE ARREST RECORD HE SAID WILLARD DID NOT DRINK. DADDY SAID THAT WILLARD TRISTED HIS WRISTS AND HANDED THE HANDCUFFS BACK TO THE POLICEMAN. THE POLICE RECORD DID NOT SAY HOW HE BROKE THE HANDCUFFS. EVIDENTLY, FEVERS WERE QUITE COMMON IN PARAGOULD BEFORE THE ST FRANCIS RIVER WAS DAMMED. GRANDMA AND DADDY TALKED ABOUT THEM A LOT. SEVERAL OF THE RESIDENTS DIED FROM IT AS THE TOMBSTONES IN LINWOOD CEMETARY AT PARAGOULD, ARKANSAS TESTIFY. WILLARD COURTED MY GRANDMA, HATTIE VESTA TOWER CAUDLE, BEFORE SHE MET AND MARRIED MY GRANDFATHER. GRANDMA TOLD ME THIS BEFORE SHE DIED. SHE SAID THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE MARRIED IF GRANDPA HAD NOT SHOWED UP LOOKING DASHING IN HIS SUIT WITH A POCKET FULL OF MONEY. GRANDPA, LOUIS NORMAN CAUDLE, SR., SWEPT GRANDMA RIGHT OFF HER FEET. SHE NEVER GOT OVER HIM EVEN THOUGH HE DESERTED HER TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WILLARD LATER PROVIDED AND CARED FOR HER AND THE KIDS SEVERAL TIMES WHEN GRANDPA DESERTED HER. GRANDMA SAID HE DROVE HER TO HER FATHER'S FUNERAL AND THE CEMETERY. GRANDMA SAID THE HORSES ACTED UP ON THE WAY TO THE CEMETARY WHILE A TRAIN WAS PASSING; WILLARD DROVE THE HORSES UP AND DOWN THE ROAD BESIDE THE RAILROAD TRACKS UNTIL THE TRAIN PASSED. HE EXPLAINED TO GRANDMA THAT IT WAS BAD LUCK TO STOP A WAGON WITH A BODY IN IT. GRANDMA HAD SAID THAT THEY WERE HAULING HER DAD'S BODY IN THE BACK OF THE WAGON AT THE TIME. GRANDMA ALSO SAID WILLARD WAS COWBOYING WITH GRANDPA NEAR CHEYENNE WYOMING. HE WENT LOOKING FOR GRANDPA WHEN GRANDPA'S HORSE RETURNED WITHOUT HIM. HE FOUND GRANPA LAYING OUT ON THE PRAIRIE. HE HAD BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTENING. DADDY USE TO TELL STORIES ABOUT WILLARD AND WILLARD'S STRENGTH. EARL AND I LOVED IT. EVIDENTLY, WILLARD WAS VERY STRONG. EVEN EARL HAYES AND HIS WIFE SAID WILLARD WOULD LOOK UP A BULLY AND BEAT HIM UP WHEN HE LEARNED ONE HAD MOVED IN OR AROUND HIS NEIGHBORHOOD. DADDY TOLD A STORY ABOUT JACK CAUDLE USING WILLARD'S DAD'S NAME IRREVERENTLY. WILLARD READ ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER AND TOOK JACK OUT TO THE BARN AND WHIPPED HIM. JACK WAS A GROWN MAN AT THE TIME. DAD SAID WILLARD WAS RUPTURED REAL BAD WHEN HE STAYED WITH AND WORKED FOR HIM IN THE LATE 1920'S. HE WORE BRACES TO HELP HIM GET AROUND. WILLARD'S FIRST WIFE, FANNIE MCLAUGHLIN, TOOK THE THREE GIRLS WITH HER WHEN SHE RAN AWAY FROM WILLARD. SHE LEFT THE TWO BOYS WITH WILLARD. SHE RAN OFF WITH WILLARD'S HIRED HAND, JOHN HATCHER. THEY WENT TO WELLINGTON, KANSAS. WILLARD WAS LIVING AT FRANKLIN, OKLAHOMA WHEN FANNIE RAN OFF. WILLARD HAD HIRED JOHN HATCHER TO WORK FOR HIM AT FRANKLIN, OKLAHOMA. HOWEVER, ROBERT CAUDLE, WILLARD'S GRANDSON, SAID THAT FANNIE TOOK ALL THE KIDS AND LATER GAVE WILLARD THE BOYS. HE CAN REMEMBER HIS GRANDFATHER TELLING HIM ABOUT GOING AFTER THEM SOMEWHERE NEAR SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM ---------------------- REC'D 32H 17GOVT NH GREAT LAKES, ILL. 0216 P.M.
