	'''Joe Simonich''' served in the 361st Infantry during World War I, according to the Feb. 3, 1922 ''Tacoma News Tribune''. He became the welterweight champion of the 91st Division of Fort Lewis, WA. (The Dec. 27, 1920 TNT reported that he had started his boxing career at Camp Lewis with the 91st Division.) According to the January 31, 1924 ''Hoquiam American'' (Hoquiam, WA, USA), Rev. John W. Beard, former pastor of Hoquiam?s First Presbyterian church, but now of Mount Tabor Presbyterian church in Portland, Oregon, was in the sports pages of the previous Sunday?s ''Portland Oregonian'' newspaper, talking about his experiences working with the 361st Infantry of the 91st Division overseas. Rev. Beard started a Bible class while the outfit was in France. Pvt. Simonich took the class and learned the Bible extremely well. Meanwhile he fought three military engagements, throwing hand grenades at the Germans.
