35 Union County Men On Draft List, 1917

The Monroe Journal, Sept. 11, 1917

Thirty-Five More Men Added to the List…Their Claim for Exemption Refused, But Many Will Appeal…County’s Quota Not Secured
The exemption board this morning posted 35 additional men on the army list. These men were among those in the second call, who were examined several days ago. Their claim for exemption has been refused by the local board, but it is understood that many of them will appeal to the district board.
