This farm has been in continuous possession f these two ever since.

After training there until July 1918 he was transferred to Rockaway Beach Naval Station Long Island. He remained there until discharged. David was born and grew to manhood on the family homestead not far from Brewster. He was engaged in farming and stock raising with his father and brother until he enlisted. After being discharged he returned to his former work. He entered the Veterans Hospital at American Lake May 23, 1925 and remained there until his death.
