Noelle, Thank you! I believe this is my father. I heard rumors that he died in February of 2001.

Of course, there could have been a different James GARRISON who enlisted in another state and then later moved to Wisconsin. I found the Social Security Death Index entry for a James R. Garrison in MIlwaukee but the birth year is off by two years. If you thought this might be him, you could write for the SS application. U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 Name: James R Garrison Birth Year: 1922 Race: White, citizen Nativity State or Country: Wisconsin State: Wisconsin County or City: Milwaukee Enlistment Date: 15 Oct 1940 Enlistment State: Wisconsin Enlistment City: Whitefish Bay Branch: Field Artillery Branch Code: Field Artillery Grade: Private Grade Code: Private Component: National Guard (Officers, Warrant Officers, and Enlisted Men) Source: National Guard Education: 4 years of high school Civil Occupation: Tracktor Driver* or Truck Driver, Heavy or Chauffeur or Truck Driver, Light An asterisk (*) appearing after a job title indicates that a trade test for the particular occupation will be found in the United States Employment Service Manual, Oral Trade Test Marital Status: Single, without dependents Height: 57 ; Weight: 131 Name: James R.

Garrison of about the right age living in Milwaukee with mother Josephine, who is shown as married but also as the Head of family. Perhaps this line is one possibility to explore. --Noelle Ohio ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GARRISON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
