Well, I am trying to help, but am afraid I am just creating more of a muddle. His tombstone means he was in the Spanish American War... but as you can see from what I am posting below, some other sources say WWI and give a different father's name than his obituary.
Since the Spanish American War was first, I imagine most of his service was actually in it and perhaps his father's name was John Samuel, hope these help.
