Sergeant William H Lawrence served in the US Army during the decades following the Civil War, a period when the military was rebuilding and redefining its role in a reunified nation. As a sergeant, he held a position of responsibility, guiding soldiers through training and daily duty.

Lawrence passed away on August 2, 1872, during an era when frontier posts, Reconstruction-era deployments, and the beginnings of westward expansion defined much of Army life. Soldiers of this period often served far from family in demanding, isolated conditions.

Though many details of his personal life have faded with time, his service in a formative era for the US Army is worth remembering. Every sergeant who trained and led soldiers in that period helped shape the institution we know today.

💛 WHY FRANKLIN PARK SONTERRA IS RIDING WITH US 💛

At CVF, we believe honoring veterans isn't just a ceremony — it's a commitment.

Franklin Park Sonterra, our Stop Sponsor for the 2026 Ride for Wreaths, understands that commitment deeply. As a senior living community in San Antonio, they walk alongside some of our nation's greatest heroes every single day — veterans and spouses who served with honor and now deserve to live with dignity.

When we ride on November 7, 2026, we ride to make sure the veterans at San Antonio National Cemetery have wreaths on their graves on December 19, 2026. We ride so their families know — someone remembers.

And Franklin Park Sonterra is riding with us.

Welcome to the Adopt a Grave family, Lauren Johnson! 🇺🇸

At Garden Ridge Market Days on August 8, Lauren Johnson chose to honor 5 veterans at San Antonio National Cemetery: William Allen Cole, Roy Bonn, Charles Christopel, James Raymond Laughlin & Lorenzo G Brown. Because of this commitment, their names will be spoken and their graves remembered during the December 19, 2026 wreath-laying ceremony.

One person choosing to stand up makes a real promise: these veterans will not be forgotten.

Want to make that promise too? Visit adoptagrave.org.

Sergeant William Allen “Chock” Cole served in the US Army during one of the most consequential years in modern history. Born January 25, 1891, he passed away on November 11, 1918 — Armistice Day, the very day World War I officially came to an end.

As a sergeant, Cole would have led fellow soldiers through the grueling demands of the Great War, a conflict that reshaped the world and cost millions of lives. His nickname, “Chock,” hints at a soldier known and remembered fondly by those who served alongside him — a reminder that behind every rank was a real person with friends, humor, and character.

To pass on the day the guns finally fell silent is a haunting piece of history, and Sgt. Cole's sacrifice deserves to be remembered as part of that story.
