Bert's location as of the 1920 census is unknown. His wife Jennie was listed living in her parents' household in Pratt County, marital status "M", but Bert was not there. An Albert Devault was listed in 1920 at Chestonia Twp., Antrim County, Michigan, with no further demographic information -- he apparently was absent when the census was taken. That might have been where Bert was living and working at the time. DLB 2020

The Pratt Republican (Pratt, Kansas); Thursday, 12 January 1905; Page 5; (Newspapers.com):
-- Frank Harper, Sam Dupont and Bert Davault were trying to "beat the blind baggage car" on a trip east last Saturday night. They had to pass a freight train at Taron and the boys were between the two trains when Harper stumbled over a pile of cinders and fell with his legs across the rail where the freight train was moving. Dupont was near enough to jerk him out before the wheels caught him, but it was a narrow escape.
The Pratt Republican (Pratt, Kansas); Thursday, 27 July 1905; Page 5; (Newspapers.com):
-- Vic Young, Bert Davault and Frank Harper, white, and Andrew Wilson and Fred Horton, colored, were arrested last week for shooting craps without a license under the new game law. The fine and trimmings just amounted to $10 apiece, which three of them paid and the other two were put in the city "cooler"; afterwards the county health officer, Dr. Douthart, ordered them removed from that place and rather than pay the expense of maintaining them in the county jail, they were told to go and sin no more.

PRATT BOYS OFF FOR CAMP FUNSTON TO-DAY
Last Percentage of First Draft Escorted to Train by High School
Cadets and the Home Band
One of childhood's dreams, which is probably the closest to the hearts of most boys, came true for fifteen Pratt young men this afternoon when with all the honors at the command of the citizens, they were escorted to the train by the home town band and the High School Cadet Corps, to start on their journey to Camp Funston. They will go by way of Topeka and arrive at Camp Funston tomorrow, where they will soon be an important part of Uncle Sam's great military system and a force to be reckoned with.
The stores and business houses were closed for an hour in honor of the departure of the draft boys, which forms the last percentage of the first draft called from Pratt county and included fifteen men. A large crowd of citizens were at the station to give the boy's a last word of good cheer and to show them they were leaving behind a loyal army of just plain folks who are mighty proud of the men who are going out to represent the county in the great war.
The men left on Rock Island No. 2, with Richard Abrams in charge. They were: ...... [ included Bert Davault}? ?
