So Pa [we called him Pa] ran away and walked 30 miles to enlist and back, and told Grandpa where he had been, so Grandpa said, "All right, Billy, Good Luck". Pa had a rugged time; was in Anderson Prison, Libby Prison, etc., and there was nothing I enjoyed more as a child than to hear him talk about his army life. I always loved him dearly."
