Here is what we know. He was from Asheville, NC. His WWI draft card (1917) lists him as employed by the Frisco Railroad in Okmulgee, OK. Boom! That's about it! Any suggestions for sites to search, employee manifests, payroll lists, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The Springfield-Greene County Library has a digital collection of Frisco Employee Magazines. One may search the collection with rudimentary character string searches. http://thelibrary.org/lochist/frisco/magazines/magazines.cfm
