The lore is that Joe was sent to the store at Hales Point and vowed that after that errand he was taking off and not coming back. He did just that. Joe left Lauderdale County Tennessee and joined the Army and made a career of it reaching the rank of master sergeant. He was a tough soldier and might have been in service during WWI. Records show he was a veteran of WWII. In 1936 while stationed at Fort Knox KY, he married a wonderful woman, Margaret Powell who gave him two precious daughters, Nancy Joe and Priscilla. Joe died young by life expectancy factors of his era, apparently of heart disease. Army records show that his Army duty was a mechanic in the motorpool.
