• Notes

  A John Bishir is listed as serving in the Spanish/American War in 1898/99. He enlisted on Nov 22, 1898 and was discharged while at sea on Nov 21, 1901. His age is about right for this Jonathan. He is serving with Company F (Hillsboro), 3rd Ohio Vol. Inf. and was mustered out as a Sgt. It appears that 1st Sgt Bisher was also sent to Mexico on the eve of World War I. A military record exists for a John Bishir who was born at almost exactly (to the month) the same time as this Jonathan. He lists his birthplace as Lynchburg, Ohio and his residence as Monterey, California. His military record is as follows: Co M 6 Infantry to 16 June 1917; Co M 53 Infantry to 3 Oct 1918; Army Candidate School Langres to 18 Nov 1918; 331 Infantry to 2 Apr 1919; Co M 53 Infantry to Discharge Corporal 1 June 1917; Private, first class 20 Jan 1917; Sergeant 14 July 1917; 1 Sergeant 27 Dec 1917; 1 Sergeant 1 Sept 1919. Defensive Sector. American Expeditionary Forces July 6/8 to 12 June 1919. Honorable discharge 15 Dec 1919. John appears in 1910 with the 21st Infantry at Ludlow Barracks, Camp Keithley in Mindanao, the Phillipines. In 1920, he appears at Camp Grant, in Illinois.
