November 11, 1918, found three vacant chairs in one home in Monroe Twp., and it also found one of the occupants of those chairs at Camp Sherman and two in France. The home was that of W. S. Shotwell and the boys were his sons; Morris S., Jay V. and H. Dwight Shotwell.
Morris went to Camp Sherman with the first contingent that left Cleveland in 1917, and he remained there until the close of the war. He wanted to go across with his brothers and get into the "big scrap," but that was denied him. When the 308 engineers were leaving he asked if he might not be transferred from the 412 to the 308, but the captain said: "Nothing doing. I guess we need engineers here in little old Sherman worse than John J. does in France." So his fate was sealed, and there he remained until June 1, when he was discharge. He is now at Cleveland and is associated with the Swift Packing Co.
Jay left Carrollton on April 30, 1918. He trained at Camp Sherman and left for France in August. He was in the 90 division. He was rushed to the front as rapidly as they could get transportation. He took part in the Meuse-Argonne drive, was in the thickest part of the Argonne forest and in the fiercest battle when the armistice was signed. They conditions there were were terrible. They went for days at a time without food and water. Immediately on the signing of the armistice they went up into Germany with the army of occupation. He remained in Gerolstein and Goblenz all winter, and landed June 15, 1919, at Boston. He was never wounded, but quite a little gas and had several narrow escapes.
Dwight left Cleveland with a contingent bound for Camp Gordon, Georgia, where he trained from May 1 to August 1, 1918, when he sailed for France. He was a member of the "Fighting First." They saw hard fighting around the St. Mihiel front. It was the first division that took Cantigny. He was in the hospital a month, suffering from the effects of gas. Upon the signing of the armistice he also went into Germany with the army of occupation. He remained at Montabauer until August, 1919, when they sailed for home. As the "First" was Pershing's division, they paraded in New York and Washington. He arrived home October 1, being among the last to return.
All are glad that November 11, 1919, found them safe in the "good old U.S.A." Dwight who previous to the war had been at Cleveland, is now with Jay at home, where they are awaiting the recovery of their father, who has been ill the past two years. He underwent an operation Thursday of last week in a Canton hospital, and is doing splendidly. The father was active in the patriotic affairs of the community, serving on the Liberty loan committee and answering all demands made upon him. Like most soldiers the three "Fighting Shotwells" mention only the funny side of army life. They are contented to forget the unpleasant and unhappy things they endured and, as one of them said, "Let bygone be bygones as regards the war."
