 BIOGRAPHYBoys Reserve 1917Waveland Independent Aug 10, 1917 Rev. AH Backus of Dunkirk and Frank McGeath, George
Leonard, David Peck and Leon Wright of Crawfordsville
were here on Tuesday just afternoon in the interest of
the Boys' Reserve. Backus & McGeath made short talks.
The impression has gotten abroad that this registration
was intended only for those boys who are not employed.
This is not the case. It is intended to enroll all boys
between 16 and 20 who are working or are willing to work,
here or elsewhere. The movement is not military and is
not compulsory. Prof. Raquet has charge of the matter and
all interested should see him today if possible. The boys
will register at the BS Kritz store. Return Main Page. © Copyright USGenWeb Project for Montgomery County, Indiana, Karen Zach. Last Modified on ©
