Nearing August draft call lists Iowa miners and more
The exemption board released the names of 40 men from the city destined for Camp Dodge in August. Nearly half are miners with diverse trades including merchants, draftsmen, machinists, and farmers. The roster lists addresses from Seattle to Butte and Mackville to Hoquiam, with many pursuing skilled labor before reporting for roll call at the courthouse.
