I want to acknowledge the information provided by the Walter H. Pack Family. As I shared with the original creator of this memorial, some of it is incorrect based on the records I found. I have corrected the details below to the best of my ability. Unfortunately, there are few records to support many of the details, but they represent the preponderance of information. I welcome the input of others.
