Soldiers pass through Superior as townsfolk report visits
Five hundred soldiers traveled through Superior on Wednesday with residents noting their passage and shared poems about the war effort. Local figures Frank Nisen and wife from Blairs Town plan lake-side stays while Nisen owns the old Prochaska fort and intends improvements. The community records numerous visits, camp meetings and enlistments as Clair Chapman heads to Syracuse for medical training and local residents resume travels to Cedar Rapids, Illinois, and Nokomis County.
