Born at Dexter, Mo., he entered patrol training school at Jefferson City in June 1932. His first assignment was to Troop C at Kirkwood. In 1933 he was transferred to Macon and then to St Joseph in 1935. A trooper here until 1948, he then was promoted to sergeant and assigned to the desk at Troop H headquarters, retaining that position until 1952. He was a member of the Huffman Memorial Methodist Church, the Optimist Club and the Pony Express Chorus. The family home is at 2620 Mitchell Avenue.
Surviving are his wife, Nellie Mae; two daughters, Miss Judith Mae McClard of the home and Mrs. John K. Jones of St Joseph; two brothers, Melvin R.
