During WW I he volunteered with the Naval Gun Factory inWashington, DC. After his retirement, at about 1920 the family bought 2 ? acres farmland in Ft. Smith and built a house there. The garden provided beans, corns, potatoes and other food supplies for the family and Willis kept a blacksmith shop on the property as well.
