Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico – Military men are remarking on the appropriateness of a season of training here of sergeant Cody Boal, company E, 134th infantry (Fifth Nebraska), from North Platte, who is a grandson of the late, William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) whose widow makes her home in that city. Sergeant Boal, as a boy, often traveled with the old scout’s wild west show, and at home sometimes masqueraded as his grandfather.
Captain V. R. Halligan, commanding company E, who knew Buffalo Bill intimately when a boy, has returned from Washington in charge of the army insurance section in this division. – El Paso Herald Newspaper – November 5, 1917
