One Hundred More Men to Be Examined in Kandiyohi County
A 1917 Minnesota report lists a partial selection of Kandiyohi County men certified for military duty and notes many local boards may not summon recruits for the first quota. Names include Leland Sather and Lawrence Bergeson, with probationary notices to forty more youths to prevent examination delays. Samuel Nelson, auditor, reports uncertainty over when the first contingent leaves as Gov Burnquist orders no action until further word.
