From Great Great Aunt Bertha Schumacher-Hallgren: "John Spare enlisted in the North Dakota National Guard -- Company B at age 17 and was assigned to the Rio Grande River Patrol on the Mexican border, at Mercedes, Texas. One day he was patrolling near the bridge by the encampment when suddenly a herd of horses was seen coming at full speed toward the bridge with Pancho Villa and his robber band behind them -- exchanging gunfire with men from empty guns because as yet there was not enough equipment so ammunition could be issued for everyone. There was only one thing to do -- and the 'boys' did it. They dived under the bridge as one man -- THEY ALL HAD UNLOADED GUNS!!"

Mina was with Standard Oil after WWI ended. She had left home to go to college at 16.
