He was one of the first drafted men from Rossville, reaching Camp Funston Sept. 18, 1917. Other boys who were in the same call were Glen Sebring, Sam Cottle, John Bravence and Ray Lemon. The boys were placed in the 353rd infantry. In April 1918 Eventus, John Bravence and Glen Sebring were started overseas. In New Jersey they were assigned to the 3rd division.
