L. Stout, Treasurer. Those at Oshkosh were Mr. F. A. Dutton. Chairman; Mr. H. A. Mark, Vice; Mrs. Blanch Riddile, Secretary; Mrs. Hattie Sarver, Treasurer.

The work of carrying on the sewing and knitting at the Red Cross room at Lisco was superintended by Mrs. R. Lisco and Mrs. Wm. Stevenson. There were a number of Junior Red Cross societies in the schools in the county.

Many rooms were 100 per cent Red Cross members.

A company of home guards, consisting of about fifty men, was formed at Oshkosh, with W. F. Gumaer, Captain; Chas. Carr, 1st Lieutenant.

At Lewellen they had a larger company with Rev. Engle, Captain; and Bert Smith, 1st Lieutenant.

Each company trained twice a week in military tactics and became quite proficient for "awkward squads."

We know of no official or authentic roster of those who joined the colors from this county. It is sure that the number is over two hundred ; but regret to say that our list is incomplete.

Three of the boys were killed in battle viz. : Adian S. Pizer, St. Mihiel, September 12, 1918, of Lewellen ; Earl L. Bray, near Vessiers, October 6, 1918, of Lewellen; and Stephen Shaw, of Oshkosh.

Walter Peterson, Robert Cooper, Wesley M. Cattron, Ralph McKonkey, and Armal Lane Allen died of pneumonia while in the service.

Of those most severely wounded in action, were Daff Young, of Lewellen, and Duane Marshall, of Oshkosh. The former lost one arm and one leg in the Argonne drive, November 5, 1918, and the latter on July 17, 1919, was so severely wounded in the leg that amputation was necessary. The bones were shattered and several operations at long intervals were required. He is still in the hospital ( March, 1920).
