War Dept exam rule aids reserve officer plans
A Des Moines reserve officer recently called to active duty arranged a year’s leave and moved his family. He left Des Moines but returned after ten days, rejected for army service due to disability. He could have avoided delays by taking a final exam at his nearest home station to learn his physical condition before long absence. Elizabeth Sabin, 98, located the old Fort Atkinson Cemetery in Decorah, dating to 1848. Marcus Lilly and son Dean’s team drowned crossing a shallow stream when a log swept the wagon into 12 feet of water. A broken water hydrant in Sheldon drenched part of the city after cars struck it. Charter Oak children enjoyed sleigh rides pulled by Eskimo dogs.
