Notes - Name Amanda Arbogast Forbes research, copy in file. Confirmation from Trent
Papers sent to me by R. W. Arbogast, Sr., copy in file.
Additional confirmation and complete genealogy on her line from granddaughter,
Janet (Perry) Sheldon a serious and competent researcher who provides
substantial documentation. Bert was a brakeman then a conductor for the New
York Central Railroad for 17 years. During WW I he was in the Army with the
American Expeditionary Forces in Europe from April 27, 1918 to August 7, 1919.
His tour of duty involved recovering dead and wounded from the battlefield and
transporting them to hospitals. This experience was so devastating to him that
he never fully recovered. As a result he spent his last years in the Veteran's
Hospital in Beckley, WV suffering from severe post traumatic stress syndrome.
