    On July 1, 1992 I spoke to Grandma Mills (Opal E. Mills) about
    William Grant. I had received a copy of the Reverend Robert L. Mills family
    picture from Bill Mills. William Grant's picture was superimposed. He was in a
    military uniform. I called Grandma and asked her what this was about. She told
    me that William Grant joined the army during WWI. The story is that he and some
    friends were at a party and decided to enlist. Ten of them went down and
    enlisted in the Army. In those days there was no waiting period and the Army
    took him immediately. His wife, Elsie Nora Jones had a child, Cecil Leroy Mills
    (who was two years old). William Grant did not know how to explain his joining
    the Army and wrote to his father and asked his father to explain to Elsie Nora
    Jones. He also asked Robert Mills to take his son, Cecil Leroy, and get a photo
    of mim made and send to him. Grandma told me that Robert Leroy and William
    Grant's letters are in the possession of Aunt Eva.
    The above information was confirmed by telecom with Aunt Eva on 7/5/92.
