Loyal S. Kincaid

Loyal Kincaid was born July 30, 1890 in Michigan, died June 1, 1968. He served as a private in World War I.
Aunt Melissa was my great-great grandmother, Lydia Melissa Reeves, who would've been living in Centralia, Washington in 1890.
Interesting to read this early use of "Xmas." A little digging shows the term has actually been around a lot longer than I suspected.
