On the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, sharing a little Oliver Springs connection to that war. This is a portrait of my grandfather, Andy Justice in his WWI uniform. He grew up in Back Valley and was a 22 year old coal miner when he was drafted. Sent to fight in France he was wounded (shot and gassed) in the Argonne Forest, considered the deadliest battle in US History. He finally came home to Morgan County in March of 1919. The story he told was that he got off the train in Clinton and had to walk the rest of the way home. His mother (Susan Ann Walls Jestes/Justice) was outside hanging wash when he came down Back Valley Road and he remembered her wading through the creek in her long skirt, so surprised and excited to greet him when she saw him coming home at last.
