bred. He comes from the backwoods
country where q family means every
thing and all his life he has had the
strongest devotion to his father. whom
he looks upon as a great American
patriot. He desired to emulate the
fathers example. His father was
John Samuel Woodf1ll, who during the
Mexican war enlisted on October /.
1847, for the duration Of the war. He
was made a sergeant in what was
then designated Capt. Hulrs COM
pany," which was Company A of the
5th Indiana Volunteers. He was
mustered in at. Madison. Ind, and
mustered out on July %, 1S48. He
took part in many engagements and
in a hand-to-hand conflict at the
capitulation of the City of Mexico was
wounded by q bayonet thrust in the
arm, so that the present-day hero of
the American expeditionary forces
feels that he inherited his disposition
to get close in conflict.
During the civil war, when thirty
seven years old and the head Of a
family, Sergt. Woodfill's father was
commissioned a captain in the 55th
Indiana Volunteers and placed in COM
mand Of Company A. He was muster

dating from May 80. and mustered out

Then, 1 will confess to you, music

German polyphony and deluged by
the waves of Italian melodies l tried
myself to compose some airs and to
test through them the feeling which
l created in those who heard them
for example, the people who lounged
about the terraces. Some seemed to
find a charm in my pieces, but many,
the majority, shrugged their shoul-
ders and asked for something else.
At bottom, this was all the same to

the Secretary of War have all gone out
of their way to show attention to Sergt.
Woodfill. He has taken the congratula-
tions and handclasps of his superior
officers in much the same way that he
took commands from his superior Off
GERS in the field. as part Of his duty.
One of the greatest qualifications. OF
his life was to come back in time to see
his mother before she died, in Septem-
Der. 1920. He had not even written in
detail to his family regarding his great
exploit, on October IL, saying in his let
ters merely that he had had serious
encounter with the enemy.
"She told Inc she was very proud to
live and see me return after having
done my duty for my country. as she
knew l would" he said. in speaking Of
his mother.

Evening star., 1921-11-06

at 1440 East 5Oth street, Indianapolis,
Ind. In one way Sergt. Woodfll well
comes the nationwide publicity that he
is getting. He hopes that it may help
him to locate one brother whom no
member of the family has heard from in
twenty-five years. At that time the
brother wrote TO his mother from the
state of Washington that he had en-
listed in the Army. He did not say
what branch or organization. While in
Washington Sergt. Woodfl is going to
try to hunt up his brother through the
War Department records.
Sergt. Woodfill does not play golf nor
sing. He admits that he used to be-
very fond of dancing. but that was i'll
the days of the round dances, and he
hasn't learned any of the "jazz' steps.
He is feet 10S inches in height.
weighs $50 pounds and measures 40
inches across the chest. When he has
time to read he likes to read instructive
books ana never cared much for fic-
tion."
Sergt. Woodfill says that he has never
taken a church obligation and that his
religion is the religion Of the Golden
Rule.
