Paul R. Matthews

I know this may seem strange, but in WWI my grandfather, Clarence F Robinson was wounded in the Meuse Argonne and lost his left arm. A fellow service member named Paul Matuscak helped save his life. Paul wrote a moving letter to him in 1921, from the Cleveland YMCA,describing the event when he was injured. After the war, Paul apparently changed his last name to Matthew and completed school to become a pharmacist. I was wondering if you may be related? I would eventually like to get a Purple...

Matthews Family:
I was very sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Carol, Laura and Ellen,
On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all of you on Paul's passing. Paul was one of the kindest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He always had a smile on his face, and a kind word for everyone he came in contact with. He was a wonderful example of a loving husband and father. I am sure he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Our love and prayers are with you,
Rich,...
