England, private, Hospital Corps, was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, and served in the Army from January 6, 1899, to January 5, 1914, in the grades of private, acting hospital steward, and sergeant, first class, Hospital Corps.

Fomites may also serve as a site for the replication of a pathogen, as in the case of enteric bacteria in household sponges or dishcloths.— (Raina M. Maier, Ian L. Pepper, Charles P. Gerba, Environmental Microbiology, 2009, page 559)
