Knox County Indiana INGenWeb WWI veterans

Here I plan on putting up list of Knox county residents who have enlisted into the arm forces of the United States and fought during WWI. This will be a slow process as I am finding the information from old newspapers and submission from users. All will be listed in a flat page, when the list gets to large for this I will break them up into a menu.

If you have a loved one that your are proud of and wish to add his name or achievements to this list , please email me at stangle150@sbcglobal.net

   The local board at noon today had completed the task of examining the large number of registrants notified to appear at 8 o'clock. The records show that a total of 155 men were accepted as soldiers by the local board and fourteen of the number sent to the medical advisory board had been accepted.
! Judging from the fact that the board issued a call for 244 to appear this morning it is thought that quite a number failed to do so. Just what action the will be taken in cases where the draftees failed to appear when ordered to do so by the board is not known.
   The board will not be able to make public the list of the men to leave here for training camps and forts soon, due to the fact that the farmers who are actually engaged are given temporary exemption.
   The following is a list of those accepted as soldiers today:
