George V. Huffmon
Portrait of George V. Huffmon as a young man in a dark suit and vest and a white shirt. There is a small photo of two women wearing hats pinned to his left lapel. The image is over-matted to an oval shape. We are guessing on the date of creation based upon other photos that we have of him that were taken around the same time period. George Van Buren Huffmon was born on Nov. 24, 1886 in Lee County, Virginia. He moved to Texas and later enlisted in the United States Army. He was stated at Camp Columbia near Havana, Cuba from Feb. 1906 until his discharge in September of that year as a 1st Class Private with "Excellent" as the last remark. He became a nurse in the U.S. Medical Corps. George Huffmon died in Jan. 27, 1933 in Pampa, Texas.
