Hi Ellen: It could be that you might qualify, considering Toots went with his boots on, but we'd have to hear the story first to be sure. It does sound promising so far though. Would dearly like to see that portrait of Uncle Toots. That name, "Toots Clark," just naturally sings.----Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: enalibof@netscape.net<mailto:enalibof@netscape.net> To: mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com<mailto:mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] City of St. Louis -High andBiddleStreetSaloon Jim, don't I qualify on the basis of my uncle, Toots Clark? His shooting made a headline in the Globe Democrat.They even had a picture of the bullt-ridden car in addition to his portrait.

I just read S's reference to "bad company" which was the reason Toots spent time in the workhouse. Although he did plead guilty to attempted burglary. The online military records showed that Toots enlisted in 1917 by falsifying his birth year from 1900 to 1899. He was dishonably discharged due to fraud. However, a year later the US Army took him back and sent him to France.
