"William, the youngest son of the McCormick family, was also fighting in the war. William did not want to be in the same company as Charles. Before going into the service, he was 'doing badly' and the wishes of the family was the nine month service would make a man of him. By December Charles remarks that Will is doing well and is a good soldier. 'He has learned to know obedience which is something he never knew before. He is a good boy."
-- from "The McCormicks of Milton," by Homer F. Folk
