My Story

He went in to service in 1941 and served 3 years in the Army. He was released in 1944 with 7 metals that he won, while serving. He went to all the countries overseas. While serving he had a gun to blow up in his hand. Back in those days they just checked it and sent you on your way. No records were kelp.

Alton L.Phipps was a kind and gentle person. He didn't like arguing and wanted to get along with everyone. He married Peggy J. McCullough on October 12, 1946. They had 4 children, Albert L, Charles L, Linda J, and Bonnie J.

He moved north to Indiana after getting married. Life was very hard in the 30's and 40's. He found work as a construction worker.
