Notes |
- Wallis and Alice Pitard had no children.
On 20 March 1917, when he was 21, he was driving a car that didn't make a turn, and the ensuing accident killed Miss Garnett Maurin, aged 18, who had been in the car with him at the time. Her name appears before this in various social columns of the time.
New Orleans Item, 22 Aug. 1917, page 8:
"Mr. Wallis Pitard, who recently returned from the officers' training camp at Fort Logan H. Roots, where he received a commission as second lieutenant, is spending his furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Pitard and other members of the family at their summer cottage at Mandeville, La."
Here is a note from the Times-Picayune, Saturday, September 1, 1917:
MANY LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI OFFICERS TO WACO
"Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 31.— To take commands in the National Guard of Michigan and Wisconsin which will compose the 32d division at Camp McArthur, Waco, Tex., 252 reserve officers who were commissioned here August 15 left for Waco at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Major L. C. Grieves, division adjutant, said that the order detailing the officers to Camp McArthur is to equalize the number of officers among the various camps, and that this number can be spared from the 87th division, which will stationed at Camp Pike.
"Louisianians—Captains John P. Longmire, Edward Gerald Sabine, Newell Tilton, of infantry; William McF. Averill, of field artillery; First Lieutenant Campbell Palfrey and Second Lieutenants William K. Terry, Roland C. Lawes, George A. Villers, Howard H. Hargrove, Walter S. Savage, George McGinnis, James Thomas Harris, Jr., Charles E. Naylor and Ralph F. Taylor, of infantry; and Second Lieutenants Wallis E. Pitard, Forest McGraw, Charles Karst and John P. O'Leary, of field artillery, all of New Orleans."
It's not clear whether he was deployed with Pershing's Expeditionary Force to Europe. Family notes say, though, that he served with a commission in WWI. Here is his draft information, giving his draft no. and address; the "6" for "division" indicates his ward (not necessarily the 6th Ward, though):
1211 Pitard, W. F. . . . 2015 Esplanade . . . 6
His name appears again in social news in 1919, after the war, and for the next decade or so.
He was married just a few months after his brother Gus.
