I'm so glad that there is still interest in "Geronimo" and his service. Important history! He certainly was one of the 'ancestors' to our wonderful war service dogs of today. posted:March 2018Cheri Hopkins aka You Go Genealogy Girl #2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792786622751019882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178493735499757701.post-14492885501160994332018-03-24T04:17:44.351-06:002018-03-24T04:17:44.351-06:00Wow, cool post.

If you happened to read the other comments, you will see one from a woman in Colorado, who, at the time she wrote me had said the particular pet cemetery where Geronimo was buried was under threat of destruction. I was not able to help her at the time because of a serious illness with my husband so I do not know if the cemetery and grave still exists or not. I sure hope so but suspect the big business people won out.

I am a native of Alliance and have grown up surrounded by our local history and of course hearing lots of stories etc about town and the Army Air Base. I volunteer often at our local museum which is also our genealogy center here.<br /><br />I think the museum MAY have a newspaper clipping of what you mentioned, I'm not sure but I have seen that or a similar one someplace. I would be thrilled and grateful if you are willing to share it with me. I keep thinking that someday I would like to write more but time just gets away!<br /><br />Thanks so much for your note, I look forward to hearing from you.Cheri Hopkins aka You Go Genealogy Girl #2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792786622751019882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178493735499757701.post-12994837112669393242012-07-05T16:40:35.615-06:002012-07-05T16:40:35.615-06:00Cheri, One of moms old beaus was Cecil Collier of...Cheri, One of moms old beaus was Cecil Collier of Lakeview, Oregon. He must have been in this same group as he sent pictures home to her. One of the pictures is of "Geronimo and his owner Kenneth Williams" as written on the back. Another picture is of Geronimo coming down and on the back is "Geronimo his fifth jump". Wish I had found this sooner as mom passed away April 29,2009. I would be happy to send you a copy of Geronimo as he is coming down.
