At a community meeting held in January, 1919, a Bureau for
Returning Soldiers and Sailors was formed. This was to
help in securing aid or employment for all who wished or
needed it. Mr. W. H. Fleek was chosen manager. Happily the Bureau
was little needed in our district.
Wisconsin Headquarters (p. 70)
Gov. Philipp appointed a committee to maintain Wisconsin
Headquarters in the Hall of States, in New York City, for
the purpose of welcoming returning soldiers on their arrival
from overseas. Mrs. Belle Hall Lewis and Mrs. B. R. Clawson,
Jr., acted as hostesses in behalf of this community, and left
nothing undone in caring for the Green County boys as they returned.
