1893 - 1959
Born on the Ammons farm, halfway between Kenedy and Karnes City.
He enlisted for World War I on June 5, 1917 at Kenedy, and was sent to Co. C, 25th Engineers at Camp Devens, Mass. Promoted Corporal Nov. 1, 1917. Transferred to 504 Engineers at Camp Devens, and shipped out to AEF France Nov. 26, 1917. Promoted Sergeant July 1, 1918. Returned to U.S.A. June 9, 1919. Discharge Papers No. 192766, Camp Bowie, TX June 26, 1919. Paid off in full $127.94.
Served 24 months, with 19 months in France, but never tasted the wine.
He was a dedicated teetotaler, not for moral or religious reasons, but because it didn't taste good.
He was a carpenter and home building contractor.
A group of young people helped Lala and Archie to get married. They had obtained the marriage license on March 1, 1924, from Co., Clerk Grover E. Keepers. The group all drove to Beeville on a Sunday evening, March 2, and went to a Methodist Church. Services were in progress. Nick Lynch strode down the aisle, completely interrupted the service, and spoke loudly that two people wanted to get married. Minister James W. Allbritten obliged, with the congregation as witnesses. Nick must have been a real character.
He was a short person, and heavy-set. He had red hair, which later turned half gray. He was most jovial, always joking; BIG BIG practical joker, known in town to pull pranks. Had a speech impediment.
Always a short-cropped haircut (because Saturday night at the Barber Shop was an important social occasion). Haircuts were 50 cents. A little boy got his meager social life by watching haircuts every Saturday night. The bench at the Barber Shop was 15 feet long.
Sunday afternoons were spent at Dode Young's Pool Hall, upstairs over Reasoner's Grocery. Games of Moon, played with dominoes, three tables of four each going on at the same time. A square of blackboard material at each corner of the table. Each player kept his own score with chalk. In this game, you slap your domino onto the table with a big yell and a laugh, as if you had slain a lion. Pool balls clacking in the background. A 10-year-old boy sits in one of the huge windows, looking out from a great height (second floor) on the finest that Kenedy had to offer: the rusty boiler behind Slaughter's Cleaning Shop; an alley running from Slaughter's to First St.; a crossing alley running from the butcher shop to nowhere; the area used for employe parking; the huge deep potholes in the dirt; the outdoor privy behind Raymer's Dept. Store.
He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars; Mason; Shriner.
