Ron, I am sorry that I confused you by not entering Col. Marvin Ludington's middle name of White. I don't think I mentioned Valpo but will double check. He is from my Ludington line. His line was Clyde Barnes, George W., Lafayette, ???. He was married to Valda Burton. He was attending law school on the 1930 census but I don't think he joined the military until the 1950's during the Korean Conflict. He died in Harrison County, Texas in 1971. My branch of the Lud tree has been so difficult to research so I was very pleased to find that newspaper article the other day and wanted to share it on the MyFamily site. Elaine
