Paddock, Son of Late General, Was Stationed Here Until 1916 Major Richard B. Paddock of the regular army, who is reported slightly wounded in yesterday's casualty list, is a nephew of General Pershing and a West Pointer of the class of 1914. Major Paddock, who is in the Signal Corps. is a native of Wyoming and is 27 years old. On June 15, 1914, three days after his graduation from West Point, he married Miss Anne Cunningham, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cunningham of 46 Hamilton Place, this city. Mrs. Paddock, accompanied by her little son, Richard B. Paddock, Jr., is now on her way to New York from California. She was notified by telegraph yesterday that her husband had been wounded, but was in no danger. Major Paddock is the son of the late Brig. Gen. Paddock, who was one of the American officers killed in the advance on Peking in the Boxer uprising of 1900. His mother was a sister of General Pershing. She died in the early boyhood of Major Paddock, who was then taken charge of and reared by Miss May Pershing of Lincoln, Neb., General Pershing's sister. Miss Pershing is caring for little Warren Pershing, the only son of the American Commander in Chief. After his graduation from West Point, Major Paddock, then a Lieutenant or artillery, was on duty in New York, and until 1916 was in charge of the Police Reserve Training Camp on Staten Island. When General Pershing was ordered to command the punitive expedition into Mexico in 1916, the Lieutenant was relieved of that duty and went to the border to serve under his uncle. General Pershing later succeeded to the command of the Southern Department, with headquarters in San Antonio: Major and Mrs. Paddock took a house in that city and General Pershing made his home with them. The casualty list contains the names of four enlisted men from New York: Rudolph Sima, reported killed, 1,382 Avenue A; Joseph V. Rogers, dead of wounds, 1,513 Gravesend Avenue, Brooklyn; John Kuniski, severely wounded, 153 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, and Herbert A. Schwartz, slightly wounded, 148 West Ninety- first street, New York. Private Rogers was a brother of Mrs. Ethel Becker ,of 244 Gravesend Avenue, Brooklyn. She said last night that she did not know her brother was in the army until she received word of his death from Washington. She last saw him on Thanksgiving Day of 1916, she said, and had not heard from him since. He was 19 years old. "If Joe had to die," said Mrs. Becker, "I am glad he went gloriously fighting for his country." It was pointed out yesterday that recent casualty lists seemed to indicate that the Sunset Division of the National Guard army, the division which followed the Rainbow to Europe, was now in action. The troops in this division, as its name indicates, are from the Middle and Far West. Private Rudolph Sima, who is reported killed in action, was a Bohemian, 23 years old, who came to the United years ago. He enlisted in the regular army within a week after Congress declared war. His aged parents still live in Bohemia. He boarded before he entered the army with Mrs. Mary Kabatnik of 1,382 Avenue A. "Although he had only been in the country three years when war was declared," said Mrs. Kabatnik, "he was the first boy in this neighborhood to volunteer for the defense of the country. He was a true son of Bohemia, who hated Austria and loved America." Private John Kuniska, reported slightly wounded, is a Pole who came to this country four years ago. He enlisted in the regular army on Decoration Day of last year with his chum, John Federicz, another Pole with whom he made his home at 153 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn. Kuniska is 23 years old. |
