Le Mars Evening Sentinel, July 23, 1885

WAR VETERANS.

Plymouth County Men Still Living Who Fought for Their Country.

The 20th general assembly passed law requiring township assessors when
taking the census and assessment of '85 to take the names of all soldiers
and sailors who served in any of the wars of
the republic. His rank, company, regiment, time of service and post office
address was also to be noted. We present to-day the list as taken from the
books of several of the townships, and will continue them until all are
given. The enumeration is imperfect and we publish with the hope that those
whose names do not appear will report the same, so that they can also be
printed and then forwarded to the adjutant general. The record should be
complete.

Among those whose names do not appear in the completed list for Le Mars, we
note those of Messrs Emery, Hoyt, Alline, Joerndt, Struble, Haerling and
others. The list however is given as we find it in the books:
