I am told that Lucille KISER or KIZER served in the WAACs during World War II (born approx 1912 in Arkansas). She was the daughter of my 2G-Aunt, ANNA KISER (HUFFMAN). Her father JAMES KISER took the children (Alva, Susan, Amelia, James, and Lucille) to South Carolina after her mother died in 1912 - they were orginally from the area. Later they moved to North Carolina. He father remarried and had a child, Myrtle - whos mother died in childbirth. He remarried again to Myrtles aunt (his sister-in-law) and had 5 more children. Lucille did not have a good childhood and I'm told she ran away when she was about 15. I found her living in a boarding house in Gastonia in 1930, she was working in a local mill under Lucille A. Kiser.

Family from her fathers third marriage told me that the story is that Lucille joined the WAACs and that she even returned to her father or your brothers funeral (can't recall which - but in the 50's) wearing her uniform - she was a high ranking officer. she had a friend with her - but noone recalls her name. that was the last time anyone from that side of the family heard or saw from her.

It would be great to know what happened to Lucille. If you have any information please post it here or email me directly. Thank You - Cheryl
