Our Neighbors in the Services
Milford, Iowa – Dickinson County is sending another chaplain into the service within a short time. He is Rev. Thomas Rush, treasurer of the La Salette Missionary College at Terrace Park on West Okoboji Lake. He has received his commission as first lieutenant and has been sworn in. He expects his first active duty will be attendance at the chaplains’ army school at Harvard University. Until he is called he will continue his work with the La Salette congregation and reside at the college. Rev. Father Rush is the first Catholic chaplain to go from this county. He came here in 1939 from Hartford, Conn.
