Back in the Army Again

Our war hero, George Severance, Jr., had at long last come home from the army, but it seems he soon decided that the army was his real home. By early September 1919, the News was reporting that George had re-enlisted for another four years. Within another week the Gazette noted that he and Alberta had left Hobart to do some visiting and touring before, I suppose, he reported to wherever he would be stationed in this time of peace.

You will notice that social column also has an item about Mr. and Mrs. George Yager, Jr. ("Mrs." being the former Pearl Severance): they had left Chicago and were now Gary residents.
