Paul Waples Platter (1887–1987) attended the University of Texas for two years and Harvard University for two years in the Class of 1911. He went back to Denison to work at Waples-Platter Grocer Company, then in August 1917 volunteered for service in World War I. He was one of six selected for special work in the Subsistence Division of the QMC in Washington. He was promoted to the rank of captain and sent overseas on July 18, 1918, where he was assigned to duty as a rail-head officer. After the Armistice, he was made superintendent of rail-head officers. Discharged on May 4, 1919, he returned to his duties as director and officer of Waples-Platter in Fort Worth. He married Ellen E. Nielsen in Chicago in 1920. They had one child, Neilsen W. Platter (1922–2003).

Berenice Waples Platter Andrews (1888–1992) graduated from Walnut Hill School in Natick, Massachusetts. She married Vice-Admiral Adolphus Andrews, commander of the U.S. Navy's Third Naval District during World War II. They had two children: Adolphus Andrews Jr., a San Francisco socialite; and Frances Andrews Dillingham of Honolulu, Hawaii. After retiring in 1943, Admiral Andrews became president of the Waples-Platter Company. He died in 1948, a year after Berenice's mother, Fannie. There is some question about his burial place. One Find-A-Grave memorial places him in Fairview Cemetery, Denison, alongside Berenice. Another places him in Oak Cliff Cemetery in Dallas, next to the grave of his father.

Following her husband's death, Berenice lived in Denison for decades at her parents' former home at 1129 West Sears Street.

When the home [at 1129 West Sears] was sold, Bernice Waples Platter Andrews moved to the east end of her block, three properties away, the Encino Apartments. Her relocation was planned, and she designed a three bedroom, 3.5 bath ~ 2,300 square feet luxury apartment for her retirement. Facing Sears Street, it has a formal living room, fireplace, dining room w/ custom cabinetry for her many treasures, large kitchen and pantry, and an elevator. This was part of the original construction of the building at 1103 West Sears Street. After she died, at age 103, my parents, William Thomas and Mary Virginia Carlat Scully, occupied it until their passings.

She died on January 7, 1992, at the age of 103.

Vice-Admiral Adolphus Andrews Sr., Obituary #2, Dallas Find a Grave

[Dallas Morning News, June 20, 1948]
The three-starred flag of Vice-Admiral Adolphus Andrews, the Dallas man who ran the Navy's war against Nazi subs on the Atlantic Coast, was struck forever Saturday. He died in the U. S. Naval Hospital at Houston.
Death came after a long illness to the handsome, 69-year-old man who had been naval aide to three United States Presidents. When Adolphus Andrews entered Annapolis, he was the youngest midshipman in his class. At 38, he was the youngest captain in the Navy. He had held almost every high Navy post except Chief of Naval Operations.
Since retiring because of age in 1943, he had headed the Andrews Investment Company in Dallas and the Waples-Platter Company of Texas. He held a dozen other important business directorates.
Funeral services will be held at 4 p. m. Monday at St. Matthews' Cathedral. Burial will be in Oak Cliff Cemetery.
When he retired, Adolphus Andrews had served the Navy for forty-eight years, although he hadn't aimed at a naval career in the first place. He wanted to go to Yale, but when he was graduated from Oak Cliff High School he was only 15, and his father decided he was too young to go East, so the boy went to the University of Texas in Austin. While there, he got a telegram from his father to come home and take a competitive exam for appointment to the naval academy.
"I didn't even know where Annapolis was," Andrews recalled later. He packed a set of books and intended to study for the examination on the train. After awhile, he became bored and decided to throw the whole thing over. He had a biography of Andrew Jackson with him, and spent the rest of the evening reading it. When he took the examination, he found that the first question was a detailed one about Andrew Jackson. Young Andrews got the appointment and finished Annapolis in 1901.
For a time, he served aboard the U.S.S. Dolphin, a yacht assigned to the Secretary of the Navy, and at the White House under President Theodore Roosevelt as junior naval aide. He asked and got in 1908 command of a river gunboat, the U.S.S. Villalobos, on the China station where reputations were made or broken in those chaotic days.
By 1918, he was the youngest captain in the Navy and commanding officer of the battleship Massachusetts. By 1931, he was chief of staff of the Naval War College. By 1934, he was chief of staff of the United State's fleet. He became chief of the important Bureau of Navigation, now the Bureau of Naval Personnel, in 1935, and a vice-admiral and commander of the fleet scouting force, with seventeen heavy cruisers, thirty other ships, 200 flying boats, and 50,000 men under him, in 1938.
In the meantime, he had been naval aide to Prince Axel of Denmark during the latter's visit to the United States in World War I days. He was commander of the Presidential yacht, the Mayflower, and senior naval aide to Presidents Harding and Coolidge. He represented the United States at the Geneva Preparatory Commission on the Limitation of Armaments in 1926 and 1927.
From 1929 to 1931, Andrews was commanding officer of the U.S.S. Texas, the battleship which now rests in the Houston ship channel.
When World War II came, Andrews was old for a combat command. He took charge, nevertheless, of the Eastern Sea Frontier with headquarters in New York and started to fight the German submarine fleet with "about three planes, some small craft, and a lot of fine but inexperienced men from Cornell."
He earned there the Distinguished Service Medal.
After he retired in 1943, he headed the manpower survey board of the Navy and was a member of the Pearl Harbor Court of Inquiry. In June 1945, he went to the Pacific and stayed for almost a year as Red Cross Commissioner.
At the time of his death, he was a director of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway, the Texas Bank & Trust Company, the Kansas City Wholesale Grocery Company of Kansas City, Mo., and the Bird Shankle Corporation of San Antonio.
He was a member of the New York City University Club, the Dallas Downtown Club, the Fort Worth Club, the Alibi Club, and the Metropolitan Club and Chevy Chase Country Clubs of Washington, D.C.
He is survived by his wife, the former Berenice [sic] W. Platter of Denison; a daughter, Mrs. Frances A. Dillingham of Honolulu, T. H.; a son, Adolphus Andrews Jr. of Fort Worth; and three grandchildren.
