By TRAVIS HAIRGROVE | The Herald Banner | Published: May 20, 2021 GREENVILLE, Texas (Tribune News Service) This Saturday, admirers of one of World War II s most famous figures will visit Greenville for the 25th annual Audie Murphy Day celebration. While Murphy s heroics and bravery in the European theater of the war earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Silver Star and several other distinctions, making him a larger-than-life hero in the eyes of many, 96-year-old William Caldwell of Greenville enjoys sharing a few personal memories of growing up with Murphy, when the two were young boys living in Celeste. In 1935, when I was 11 years old, Dad gave up the 64-acre farm [at Webb Hill] and moved us to Celeste, and he rented a house on the north side of town between two railroad tracks . There, I got to know the other boys, the Sullivans, Cawthorns, Audie Murphy, and a few more, Caldwell recollected.
