Kustare King McKinney was born

former pastor of the Rap (1st church,
Dr. K K. King, of this city. Kustace
attended the city schools here and
also Peacock Military Institute at
San Antonio and the Texas Military
College at Torr.dk Therefore his pre-
vious military training and know-
ledge and experience stood him In
good stead when he patriotically an-
swered the call of country anil volun-
tarily enlisted In the Fnited States
Army at Fort Worth in September,
1917. He entered the hospital corps
of the medical department and was
Immediately assigned to the Thirty-
sixth division which was nt that time
in training at Camp Howie, Fort
Worth. Kustace was living at Fort
Worth at the time he entered the ser-
vice, being a valued employe of the
Chevrolet Motor Company. The com-
pany with which he became Identi-
fied was made up largely of Fort
Worth hoys. After a period of train-
ing at that army camp he sailed for
France with the Thirty-sixth divis-
ion during the latter part of July of
this year. He saw his first active ser-
vice beginning on September 19.
1918 For twenty-three days preced-
ing the signing of the armistice whieh
