The Tom Green County Memorial Day List

They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

— Isaiah 2:4

Nearly 124,000 American service members who died during World War I and World War II are buried in official overseas cemeteries. An additional 15,000 veterans and armed forces members are interred in other federally administered foreign cemeteries, bringing the total in official overseas plots to just under 140,000.

Approximately 10,000 soldiers entered the Spanish-America War from Texas, famously including Theodore Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders” who trained in San Antonio, and according to historical records, 77 Texans died in service during the conflict.

Following that war, Congress passed legislation authorizing the return of deceased American soldiers from territories such as Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, making it the first time in U.S. history that overseas war dead were repatriated.

Unidentified remains and soldiers whose families requested federal burial were brought to Arlington. Many are buried in Sections 21, 22, and 23, near the Spanish-American War Memorial.

Most of soldiers returned to the United States were interred their hometown cemeteries.

With fewer than 3,000 total casualties, bringing them home was a feasible idea.

The next conflict was dramatically different.

The First World War

In 1914, when the powers of Europe declared war on one another, it didn’t impact daily life in the Concho Valley.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the war news on the front page of the newspaper, folks wouldn’t even have known.

This was almost a decade before the discover of oil in West Texas, and the population hereabouts were mostly farmers & ranchers and the merchants who handled their business, and while there were several automobiles around, advertisements for livery stables appeared in every edition of the newspaper.

But the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in May of 1915, with 128 Americans aboard, angered the nation deeply.

The declaration of neutrality adopted when the war erupted was in danger, and when seven American ships were torpedoed later by German U-boats, Congress authorized the Declaration of War against Germany in April of 1917.

The Selective Service Act was signed into law the following month to draft 2.8 million men into the American Expeditionary Forces sent to Europe.

According to local draft registration records, at least 3,420 men from Tom Green County registered when war broke out, which doesn’t include those who signed up in surrounding counties.

By June of 1918, America was sending 10,000 men per day on ships bound for Europe — with submarine escorts for protection.

The United States suffered heavy casualties in the final months of the war, with losses estimated at 116,515 killed and 204,002 wounded — a total of 320,517.

Of those, 2,974 were from Texas, and eight of them enlisted in Tom Green County.

Most of these soldiers are buried in France.

Exactly 403 Texans are buried in the largest American World War I cemetery in Europe, Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in France, and dozens of them were from West Texas, and there are 60 Texans at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. You can search the entire database here.

Historical records show eight men from San Angelo having died in World War I, but three of the men on that list were actually from Ballinger.

Below are the stories of some of these men.

Edward Crawford Byrd

Oct. 20, 1890-Nov. 4, 1918

Eddie Byrd was the son of William P. and Janie M. Byrd, who were stock farmers in Coke County.

Eddie was nearing 30 years when inducted into the Army, and he wrote home from France in September of 1918, serving with Company G of the 360th Infantry, having already spent time on the front lines.

Byrd was killed in action one week before the Armistice.

His parents brought him home for burial in Fairmount Cemetery.

John J. Goodfellow

As the namesake of Goodfellow Air Force base, Lt. John J. Goodfellow Jr. is arguably the most well-known local to have died in World War I.

He was the son of John James Sr. and Louise Swann Goodfellow, and his father was the county engineer.

John Jr. joined the Flying Corps, and after training in San Antonio he was active on the front lines in France flying low-altitude reconnaissance missions in a Salmson biplane.

Goodfellow’s plane was shot down Sept. 14, 1918, and he died along with his co-pilot, Lt. Elliott Durand of Illinois. They are buried in Saint Mihiel American Cemetery near Thiaucourt-Regnieville.

Henry Harrison Huff

Jan. 19, 1890-Aug. 26, 1918

Henry Huff was “killed by a sniper’s bullet while his company held an advanced position across from the Vesle River near Fismes,” according to military records.

Huff was born in Louisiana in 1890, but his family moved to Palestine in East Texas around 1895, and by 1910, they were living in San Angelo, where his father operated a tailor shop at 202 S. Chadbourne St.

Twenty-year-old Henry is listed working there on the 1910 census.

Perhaps Huff wanted some adventure. Records show he joined the New Mexico National Guard in 1915, training briefly at Leon Springs before being sent to Clovis.

Under Brig. Gen. John J. “Black Jack” Pershing, Huff’s unit took part in the “American Punitive Expedition” against Pancho Villa in Mexico, where he earned a promotion to corporal.

Records show that he remained in Columbus, N.M. after his return from that campaign for about a year before the National Guard was drafted into federal service for war in Europe on Aug. 5, 1917.

After some further training in San Diego, California, he was on a boat steaming to Europe.

Shortly after reaching France, he was transferred to Company M of the 110th Infantry, a famous Pennsylvania unit, who he was serving with at the time of his death.

At the time of his death, Aug. 26, 1918, he was serving with Company M of the 110th Infantry, and he’s buried at Oise-Aisne American Cemetery in France.

Newspaper reports say Henry’s brothers all served., Warren C. Huff, who also went to war in France, returned home and lived in San Angelo until his death in 1963. His other two brothers served stateside during that time.

Epamalus “Pammie” Z. Landers

Dec. 23, 1889-Sept. 29, 1918

Pammie Landers was born in Thrifty, Texas in Brown County but was living with his family near Friendship in Coke County at the time of the war. He was the son of Alonzo and Elizabeth Landers and the sixth of 10 children.

Landers was a private in the 130th Machine Gun Battalion, 35th Infantry Division. He died three days after the Armistice. His unit had not received word the war was over. He is buried in the Muese-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne. The American Legion hall in Robert Lee is named after him.

Bev McCormick

June 29, 1896-Nov. 2, 1918

Bev McCormick, the son of Phillip H. and Sally McCormick, was one of 10 Schleicher County boys who answered the first draft call.

According to the Eldorado Success, “Bev was under draft age, and it was his purely patriotic spirit that caused him to enlist.” The Nov. 8, 1918 edition of the Success said that McCormick was the baby of a family of six, including four older brothers.

The body of McCormick was laid to rest in Eldorado three years after he was killed in the Argonne Forest fighting with the Second Division.

“The military services were the first of the kind ever seen by many people here and people from Christoval, Mertzon and Sonora were here to witness and partake in the service,” the newspaper stated.

There is a monument in Eldorado to McCormick’s sacrifice.

Garland Millar

Apr. 10, 1890-Oct. 9, 1918

Like Walter Singletary, Garland Millar hailed from Ballinger and was the oldest son of a widow. He was drafted into the Army and sent to fight in France.

In 1910, Clara Millar was living in Ballinger with her three sons, Garland, 20, Archie, 17, and Eugene, 14, along with her daughter, Nell, 21.

A total of 403 Texans were buried in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in France following World War I.

In 1918, Garland, 28, and Eugene, 22, were drafted and saw action in Europe. Garland, a private with the 9th Infantry’s 2nd Division, was killed in battle on Oct. 9, 1918, and buried in the Muese-Argonne Cemetery.

His little brother, Eugene, returned to live in San Angelo. Records show he was working for the business office at Shannon Hospital in 1941 when he registered for the WWII draft at age 46. He died in 1966 in San Angelo.

Charles Frederick Porter

Apr. 1, 1889 – Feb. 4, 1919

Charles was the fourth son in a large family, and originally from Ohio.

They moved to Schleicher County first, and then onto San Angelo by 1910.

The family lived at 26 W. Sixth St when Charles was inducted.

Porter was with the 307th Ammunition Train’s Company G, a unit of the Army tasked with transporting artillery and infantry ammunition to the front lines for the 82nd “All-American” Division, of the American Expeditionary Force.

The unit saw nothing but intense service on the Western Front from the time they landed, which was around mid-July, according to a letter his mother received in late August.

Porter died Feb. 4, 1919, and was originally buried in France but reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery in 1921.

Oise-Aisne American Cemetery and Memorial

Local Boys Abroad

Congress approved procedures for families to have their loved one brought back for re-interment at home, sending a questionnaire to the families of the fallen in 1920, and records indicate about 45,000 chose to bring their sons home, including four San Angelo-area war casualties: Eddie C. Byrd, Charles F. Porter, Marvin Tindall and Bev McCormick.

Mothers were given the opportunity in the years following the war to visit their sons’ graves in France at the expense of the U.S. government in what became known as the Gold Star Mothers’ Pilgrimage.

Fred Brookshire said Singletary’s mother was able to visit her son’s grave in 1931.

“We still have her passport with stamps from France where she went on the Gold Star Mother’s Pilgrimage, and I have a postcard that she brought back showing a big hotel where she stayed on her trip,” he said.

Walter Singletary

Walter Singletary’s story was told in a 2014 interview with Fred Brookshire of Ballinger, the grandson of Walter’s younger sister.

According to Brookshire, Singletary was a bright young man who had a lot on his shoulders when he was conscripted.

“He was raised here in Ballinger,” Brooshire explained, “before he went into the service, he worked at a drug store here, and we have pictures of him at the soda fountain.

“He had a younger brother named Jack who was also in the service, and he died later in an accident, so the war was devastating to the family.”

At the time of that interview, Brookshire said the family still owned a house in Ballinger right across the street from where Singletary’s mother, Nicy Belle, lived.

Brookshire said the Singletary family members were well-educated but that they had suffered their share of hardship before the war as the father, James M. Singletary, died when Walter was about 14 years old, leaving him as the man of the house, so he worked to help provide for the family.

According to Army recoreds, Singletary was killed Nov. 1, 1918, fighting with the 23rd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division, in France, and is buried at Muese-Argonne Cemetery in Romagne.

Jesse Lee Stokes

Oct. 30, 1891 – Nov. 8, 1918

Like Singletary, Stokes came from Ballinger and died just days before the Armistice.

According to his biography, he spent his formative years in Ballinger, but his family was living between there and San Angelo — possibly Rowena or Miles — when he was drafted, leaving behind his widowed father, Samuel Stokes.

His older brother James was also drafted but served stateside and returned home after the war.

Stokes was a private at the time of his death, and records indicate he died of disease, a very common occurrence in muddy camps near the front. He is buried in the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery.

Marvin Tindall

May 31, 1895-Oct. 28, 1918

Marvin was the son of James M. and Jamie Tindall, and born in Sherman. The family moved to Ballinger, but had also lived in San Angelo.

He enlisted at Camp Funston in Kingman, Kansas, June 5, 1917, and trained as a medic with 353rd Infantry’s 89th Division, sent to the Western Front.

His group arrived in France Aug. 4, with 111 officers and 3,401 enlisted men and they were immediately put into action, fighting in the Lucey Sector from Aug. 5 to Sept. 9, before battling from Oct. 19 until he was killed in action on October 21, 1918.

Military accounts of unit state that “The Germans began to drop shells on the column as they advanced to their position in the Bantheville Woods.

“The dead and wounded along the route told their deadly accuracy. It was dark and rainy. Many wounded crawled into the underbrush to escape further injury. It was difficult to find them and even more difficult to administer first aid.”

Under these conditions, Tindall continued tending to the wounded.

According to a letter written to his mother by Capt. Charles M. Fox:

“That day we had been subjected to shelling that was hellish in the extreme and the men were ordered to keep in their foxholes closely. A shell exploded about fifty feet from Marvin and injured a soldier and Marvin immediately got out of his place of protection, walked through the shelling and as he leaned over to bandage the wounded man, was struck by a shell fragment, and died in a few minutes without regaining consciousness.

“I saw him very shortly after and he still had a smile on his face. A smile he always had, no matter how severe the shelling might be, no matter how close death stalked about, and I like to think that Marvin went in to the “Great Adventure” with that smile.”

“I am writing you a very much delayed letter, but I myself just returned from the hospital where I have been for over two months, one month of which time I was in total blindness.

“Your son Marvin was one of my most valuable first aids men and had been with me from the time the 89th went into action until the day of his death, and no one knew better than I his sterling worth.

“In the Toul sector a Liney, I first saw him under fire and at that time I knew I had a man that I could depend on to do his whole duty. When we went over the top on Sept. 12th, in the great St. Mihiel drive and the subsequent days in the terrible woods of Dauphiteaux and St. Biuret, I still had further proof of his fearless courage.

“Then we went into the Buathville woods, the most hotly contested part of the Argonne-Meuse sector, and for days were subject to the most terrible shelling of our experience over here, his utter disregard of danger in caring for wounded was inspiring to men and officers alike.

“It was in performing an unselfish act that he gave up his life… I count it a rare privilege to have had under my command the soldier courageous Marvin Tindall. If I can be of any service to you, I shall be glad.”

— Respectfully, Capt. Chas. M. Fox.

Memorial Day

Americans have been called upon to defend our nation from enemies, foreign and domestic, in conflicts at home and abroad, since the establishment of the country in 1776.

Every Memorial Day, we honor the individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice to the country, pausing to remember what they gave in order for our freedoms to continue.

Originally observed as Decoration Day after the Civil War, families marked the day by placing flowers on the graves of loved ones they had lost in battle.

In 1868, Gen. John A. Logan proclaimed May 30 as a day to decorate the graves of Union soldiers, leading to the wide commemoration of the day.

New York made it a legal holiday in 1873, and the U.S. Congress recognized Memorial Day as a federal holiday in 1971.

The True Cost of War

According to the most recent information from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the number of U.S. military members serving during wartime, from 1776 through 1991, stood at 41,892,218; with battle deaths numbering 651,031, other deaths in theaters of war numbering 308,800 and other wartime deaths outside the war zone numbering 230,254.

That totals 1,190,085 service members who died up through the end of the Gulf War operations of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Since the Global War on Terror began in 2001, 7,089 Americans have been killed in operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel and Epic Fury, according to data from the Defense Casualty Analysis System, as of May 26, 2026, bringing the total to 1,197,187.

That number does not include every Airman, Marine, Sailor and Soldier who perished during training-exercise accidents, and other unplanned events while serving in non-war years.

Texans Serve

According to the Texas Almanac, during the US Civil War, 65,000 to 70,000 men served in uniform, representing about 10 percent of the state’s population at that time.

About 24,000 of them died, a loss of about one-third of their number, and a further 10,000 soldiers came home maimed or otherwise permanently impaired.

In World War I, 2,794 Texas soldier died.

According to Defense Department information, during World War II, 15,764 Texans died serving their country.

Three of them from San Angelo died on the very first day.

The Sailors Aboard USS Arizona

On Dec. 7, 1941, the unthinkable happened.

The Japanese attack that brought America into World War II, officially and instantly, killed 2,341 service members, and 62 civilians, seriously damaging or sinking about 20 Navy vessels, including the battleship U.S.S. Arizona, which had a total of 1,177 crew members, including a Marine detachment who were killed. Only 334 survived.

Ninety-five of the men aboard the Arizona were from Texas, and 86 of them died that morning.

Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class James A. Martin

According to his biography, Albert Martin spent his adult life aboard the U.S.S. Arizona.

Martin was born Oct. 12, 1914, and enlisted in the Navy in 1933.

He went aboard the U.S.S. Arizona the summer of ’41. He was a deep-sea diver who was commended for bravery in May of that year when he helped rescue the crew of a boat grounded on a reef.

He swam a line from a salvage boat through heavy surf to the stranded sailors.

He also played left end on the Arizona’s football team, competing against teams from other ships.

Seaman 1st Class Walton A. Erwin.

Walton Aluard Erwin was born June 27, 1921, in Nimrod, Texas, about 115 miles northeast of San Angelo.

He lived at 1008 Orient St. with his parents George and Bertha, and graduated from San Angelo High School in 1940 before enlisting in the Navy that November.

He was a seaman first class on the U.S.S. Arizona when he was killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.

James R. Lynch Jr.

James R. Lynch Jr. worked as a used car salesman at Bailey Auto Co. in San Angelo before enlisting in the Navy in August 1940.

Originally from Blanket, halfway between Brownwood and Comanche, he had plenty of family in town, including an aunt on East Harris Avenue, and a cousin who worked for the city manager.

He had last visited San Angelo in November of 1940, following his training in San Diego.

More than two weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, his family had yet to receive any news about Lynch, a Seaman First Class and gunner aboard the USS Arizona.

According to a news report on Dec. 23, 1941, another Blanket man who was a member of the fire department in Pearl Harbor wrote to his relatives in Texas to let them know that James was among the casualties.

His brother, Perry Lynch, serving aboard the USS Elliott in the Atlantic, had sent letters home postmarked from the ship on Dec. 14 and 18 telling his parents he was unable to learn anything about the fate of his brother.

A fourth San Angelo man, Gunner’s Mate 1st Class Ernest M. Shawn was initially believed to have perished in the attack on the Arizona, but survived by diving overboard before the battleship sank.

He was reassigned to the U.S.S. Talbot, and went on to see action in the Battle of Midway and the Solomons Islands campaign. Discharged from the Navy in August of 1945, he in 1998, and is buried at Belvedere Cemetery.
