Lincoln Highway County Consul (1924): J.B. McHose, 921 5th St.
"Boone was especially thrilled by the arrival of the [1919] caravan because one of the observers was a young tank corps lieutenant colonel named Dwight David Eisenhower, who had married a local girl:
Boone is more than ordinarily interested in this caravan, since one of the big men in the convoy is a nephew of Miss Eda and Mr. Joel E. Carlson of this city, Lieut. Col. D.D. Eisenhower of the U.S.A. He is making the trip across the continent with the convoy and while in Boone will be the guest of his uncle and aunt."
