Compiling State War History, Morton Enterprise, 12-20-1918
Story
of Minnesota’s Share in Great War to be Made Permanent Record
A meeting of the Minnesota
War Records Commission, which was authorized by the Public Safety Commission
and appointed by Governor Burnquist, will hold another meeting at the
Historical Building, St. Paul, on December 20th, to consider further
plans for making Minnesota’s record in the great war an important feature of
the state’s history.
Between thirty and forty counties in the state have so far been thoroughly
organized to handle this important work. Every county well eventually have its
own history compiles and without a double every patriotic and public spirited
citizen will be interested sufficiently to co-operate willingly in the
compilation of our own county’s war record with those who are placed in charge
of the work.
Questionnaires will soon go out to all county supervisors of the work which,
after being properly filled out, will tell to the last detail the story of
every man’s part in the war that had been in the service from this county.
