years. He was honorably discharged from the U.S.S. Ninth
Naval District on 30 Sep 1921, at Great Lakes, IL. He
served in two locations: Newport, RI, and Peekskill, NY.
His brother-in-law, Robert Emmett TAYLOR, of Denton, NE,

W. DeWolfe in his WWI uniform. W. W. (born2 Feb. 1875) was a physician in Bennet, NE,
and was in the Medical Corps from 1917-1919. He was
married to my great aunt, Emma May (1879-1972). She
was the youngest sister of my grandfather, Otto Julius
May (1876-1956). When I located the birth certificate,
I found that Dr. DeWolfe delivered my father, Harold
I. May, in 1909. Submitted by Marilyn
