He never married, but had "followed the trail" (the old cattle trails)
by the time he was 21; he was later responsible for running the
Driskill ranches in Kansas, the Dakota territory, Indian territory and
Montana. Numerous letters written between 1880-85 which still exist,
give a fascinating look at the old cattle empires and how they
operated. In 1885, his brother, Lee, wrote brother David Robert to
"come get Tom as he is in a bad fix". He died in his brother's home in

Eugene was in the US Navy during World War 1. His records show him in Dallas Texas on Oct 27, 1917. Next he was in Naval training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois. 10-27-17 to 11-30-17

He served on two known ships.

The first was the USS Wisconsin from Nov 30, 1917 to Feb 1, 1918. The Wisconsin returned to the York River region early in October and resumed her training activities in that locale, operating primarily in the Chesapeake Bay area. Wisconsin continued that duty into the spring of 1918, interrupting her training evolutions between 30 October and 18 December 1917 for repairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

He then was stationed at Norfork Va. from Feb 4, 1918 to Feb 14, 1918 where he was assigned to the USS Dochra on Feb 15, 1917 to Nov 11, 1918.

Here are the notes on the Dochra.
USS Dochra (ID # 1758), 1917-1919
USS Dochra, a 4309 gross ton (10,000 tons displacement) cargo ship, was built in 1906 at Newcastle, England, as a commercial freighter. Acquired by the Navy in October 1917, she was placed in commission at that time. During and after World War I she carried cargo between U.S. and Canadian ports and those in Europe. In March and April 1919 the ship also made a voyage to Cuba. Her mundane service was enlivened at the beginning of July 1918, when she survived an exchange of gunfire with the German submarine U-151. USS Dochra was decommissioned in May 1919 and transferred to the United States Shipping Board for return to her owners, Barber & Company of New York City.

After the sinking of the Augwald, the U-151 nosed northeasterly in the first stage of the course around the north of the British Isles and, in so doing, encountered several armed ships from a convoy that had been scattered by storm. The first of these was the British steam ship Glenlee, which, with a dozen other vessels, had started from New York, on June 15, under convoy of the US cruiser Columbia. The Glenlee had fallen far behind the rest and at 7a.m. on June 25, was intercepted by the U-151 in 40’N., 49’W. The British gunners offered so effective a resistance that the enemy finally gave up the attack, but not before the ship’s wireless calls had been caught by the rest of the convoy. One of these, the United States Navy cargo-carrier Dochra, had also become separated from the convoying cruiser, and the U-151 located it, at 7p.m. the same day, in 40’25” N., 47’ 29” W.

The Dochra was carrying a cargo of hydroplanes to France, and would have been a valuable addition to the enemy’s toll. The submarine opened fire at a distance of a mile and a half, firing three shots, all of which fell astern. The Dochra replied with ten shells from its 4-inch guns and the aim of the navy gunners was too close to the U-151 for comfort. The U-boat submerged and it was feared it would try and run up close and undetected and torpedo the steamer. The convoying cruiser, far ahead with the main part of the fleet, solved this danger by ordering the Dochra to return to Halifax.

This was taken from the Manuscript narrative, Robert W. Martz, USN.

...Grandmother (Ruth Lydia) had a large cedar chest on her screened porch at her home in Goliad. Therein she stored items of importance to her: the flag used to cover her son Jack's coffin, and uniforms from her sons and her brother Nolan. Uncle Nolan's Army uniform shirts were Olive in color and made of wool. The sleeves had extra material in the cuffs so that when the cuff was buttoned, nothing could enter through the slit. I was told that this was designed to keep the Mustard Gas off skin.
I remember going to see Uncle Nolan at the Veteran's Hospital in Waco. I don't remember the year, but it must have been the late 50s. He was quite handy with his hands and skilled at building things of wood. My sister has the small chair he made for her and I still have a wooden scrapbook he made. I was told that Uncle Nolan had been gassed during the War and had trouble breathing, so that was why he was in the V.A. Hospital.

...My paternal grandmother, Ruth Lydia BOYKIN Calhoun, was a Spanish teacher and Librarian at Goliad High School. Whenever I stayed with her and Granddad, I never minded going with her to school, as I had full run of the library. Reading was encouraged, and I am still an avid reader. I believe she got her degree in 1951 from Southwest Texas State. She was a hard worker and enjoyed teaching. I suspect she was a tough taskmaster!
...Grandmother had several old photo albums and I remember a photo of a fellow standing next to a Saquaro cactus with a six-shooter on his hip. I was told that this was the Boykin that lived in Arizona and that he had searched for and discovered Molybdenum in the area and that this discovery aided the war (WWI) effort. Molybdenum is used as an alloying agent in Steel. I don't know this man's name or exactly how he is related, but he was definitely a Boykin. As a note of interest, there is a Kippi Boykin who is a champion pistol shooter who lives in Arizona. She might be a shirt-tail relative.
