*Arsene changed the spelling of his
last name to Gero,
probably to eliminate mispronunciation problems!
Arsene Napoleon Girault -- named after his grandfather -- became a brakeman on the same railroad that his father had helped defend during the Civil War.
Arsene was born on July 13, 1871and died on August 17, 1936.
