Handwritten note by Carol Giannelli: "my Gmother Hattie Atwater Sauerwine.
"The son they refer to is my father Charles. He was only 15 yrs old when his mother died. No one knows of him being in the Army. Unless he lied (about) his age and was sent back home. We don't know if this is true. A real mystery." |
