IN THE WORLD WAR
WAR HISTORY OF CLAY TOWNSHIP
Clay township lies just west of Washington, with a population of 11,187. It is divided into three precincts.
It is made up of fertile farms, most of which are tilled by their progressive and patriotic owners who gave their sons, brothers and husbands to fight in the World war.
They also contributed liberally to the numerous war drives, the first being for Liberty Bonds, by which the Government desired to borrow money of its people at a certain per cent. for a stated length of time.
Clay township oversubscribed her quota for every loan drive except the fifth, owing to the county having oversubscribed its quota, there was no concerted effort made to reach the township's quota, but the number of unsolicited subscriptions equalled nearly two-thirds of its full quota.
Following are the quotas and amounts collected in the drives :
First Loan
Quota $262,000
Collections $425,000
Second Loan
476,000
648,000
Third Loan
46,700
47,950
Fourth Loan
100,300
102,050
Fifth Loan

The War Stamp was originated so that people of smaller capital could make loans, as small as five dollars or in the Thrift Stamps of twenty-five cents.
Many children eagerly loaned their earnings that they might help Uncle Sam. This township's quota was $23,740, and the sum of $40,000 was raised.
The Y. M. C. A. did great work at this time.
One beautiful Sunday afternoon about the middle of June, a patriotic meeting was held in the M. E. church at Milford. Mrs. Diewert sang an appropriate solo and also led the patriotic songs which the audience sang with music by the Bray orchestra, after hearing an eloquent address by Rollin A. Turner, of Greensburg.
Previous to that, a Flag raising was held, when an enthusiastic crowd that filled the streets of Milford heard Rollin A. Turner, assisted by Elmer Bassett, of Shelbyville.
The music was furnished by the Greensburg band.
The latter part of July, another patriotic meeting was held with Thomas Davidson as principal speaker.
Music was by a Greensburg orchestra and Mrs. Ross Reed soloist, also the Burney band.
The women of the different localities, through the Red Cross, put forth a great effort to win the great war.
They made garments for our soldier boys and contributed money which they earned from various sources, to be used in providing comforts for them.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the Liberty church bought a $1,000.00 bond in the third Liberty Loan.
In August, 1918, the Liberty Baptist Church gave a carnival for the benefit of the Red Cross. It consisted of a six o'clock chicken dinner, fruit and lunch stands, home talent minstrels and shows. They cleared $374.41 which was paid to the Decatur County Chapter.
The society also contributed $108.14, taken in at sale dinners and collections.
During the monthly meetings they made thirty pairs of bed sox and 492 shot bags. It also superintended the community sewing, making about 120 gar- ments.
.
125
IN THE WORLD WAR
The Missionary Society donated thirty pairs of bed sox and made twenty suits of pajamas.
The Young Married People's Sunday School class met October 31, 1917, at the home of one of the members with a pitch-in dinner at which time twenty-four suits of pajamas were made.
In April, 1918, the ladies of Milford and vicinity met and, assisted by Mrs. Alex Porter and Mrs. Robert Naegel, of Greensburg, organized a Red Cross unit, making Miss Muriel Gregory chairman, with about twenty members. Meeting one afternoon of every week at the M. E. church to sew, where they had sewing machines kindly loaned for the summer and those who wished, made garments at their homes.
In this way, they made 252 garments and knitted fifty-seven pairs of sox and five sweaters, furnishing part of the yarn which they donated to the chapter at Greensburg.
This unit contributed $115.31 in money which was made from sales and contributed voluntarily.
An all-day meeting was held in August. Each member bringing a well-filled basket. The contents were spread on a long table in the dining room of the church and enjoyed by everyone.
Miss Wilhite, the county demonstration agent, was present and demonstrated flour substitutes which were eaten with the dinner.
In the Burney precinct with Miss Lulu Smiley, the woman member of the Clay Township Council of Defense, as chairman, who kept in touch with the war work of the township and especially the women's work, brought about an organ- ization of the women of Burney with Mrs. Joe Minor as president. About sixty- five members were enrolled.
One afternoon of each week was devoted to the making of Red Cross gar- ments at the home of Mrs. Minor. About two hundred garments were completed.
Three hundred dollars were raised in various ways for the Red Cross.
From this sum, twenty comfort kits averaging three dollars and a half each, were filled and donated to the Decatur County Chapter. The remainder of the money was used in relieving the influenza situation.
A special nurse was employed who went from house to house daily and attended to the needs of influenza victims. Bed linen, gowns and undergarments were provided and houses cleaned that were in insanitary conditions. The
I26
DECATUR COUNTY
doctors' bills and medicines were provided for in cases where patients were not able to meet them.
Miss Wilhite demonstrated canning to a large class of girls every week at the school house in Burney, the pupils furnishing the materials. They later exhibited their skill at the Burney Chautauqua, where the parents were interested spectators or "strict judges" of the art which they had studied during their summer vacation.
In the spring of 1918, the Liberty church unfurled and dedicated a service Flag with seventeen stars, with a beautiful and impressive service. Milford also had her service Flag of eight stars.
The Junior Red Cross work was carried on through the schools. Mrs. H. H. Wilson was appointed chairman of the Burney schools. All students in the high school and of the primary room became members. One set of garments was made with Miss Alice Arnold, domestic science teacher, as supervisor.
The school service Flag included twenty-three stars, three of which are gold. Those making the supreme sacrifice were: Fred Luther, Harry Carmen and Walter Gartin.
Almost every pupil in the Milford school became a member of the Junior Red Cross.
The domestic science class of young ladies made garments for the French war babies under their instructor, Miss Edna Seal, using the money taken in as membership fees to purchase the materials. 4
The drive for the Victory Girls and Boys was conducted in the schools by the teachers. Each one who contributed five dollars was presented with a certifi- cate of membership.
The United War Work campaign was carried on with the same enthusiasm that characterized each of the other drives with the result that Clay township came up to the top notch in everything.
Respectfully submitted by Mrs. Ray Miers.
FUGIT TOWNSHIP
As a matter of course, when the call came for service, Fugit township re- sponded and fully did her part in every branch of war activity.
The township is naturally divided into four communities: Spring Hill, Clarksburg, Kingston and St. Maurice.
127
IN THE WORLD WAR
These each worked separately, or all worked collectively, as occasion de- manded ; and perfect harmony prevailed.
The Spring Hill community was better organized, with Mrs. Elbert Meek as chairman of women's work, and it is the only one that kept accurate account of work done.
The Red Cross Sewing Club, Mrs. Meek chairman, at her home completed more than eighteen dozen hospital garments. In addition Mrs. W. J. Kincaid made thirty-nine garments. Mrs. Kincaid also purchased $210.00 worth of yarn which was made into: Fifteen helmets, sixteen sweaters, thirty-three pairs of socks, sixteen pairs of wristlets.
Other knitting: Fourteen sweaters, forty-one pairs of socks, five helmets.
The Woman's Missionary Society made : One hundred ninety-five pajamas, fourteen hospital shirts, thirty refugee shirts, four operating gowns, twelve hand- kerchiefs, five pairs of bed socks, thirty-five water-proof cases.
The Clarksburg women worked through the churches and two separate sewing clubs were working in the town. All did their full quota of Red Cross sewing and knitting.
The Kingston clubs-Progress and Independent-did Red Cross sewing at every meeting, and knit everywhere.
The Woman's Missionary Society made bandages at every monthly meeting and a quantity of individual work was done besides. The women took turns in going one day each week to work in the Red Cross cutting room, or surgical dress- ing room in Greensburg.
A neighborhood club near Mt. Carmel church met once a week for sewing.
The women of St. Maurice kept up the record of the township ; but no detailed report of their work has been obtained. Fugit township is sure she did as much work as any other.
In other war activities Fugit was at the front.
THE DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF WORK FOR COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
The Food Club. Miss Nelle Fee, of Clarksburg, chairman. Every house- wife and grocer was a loyal observer of the regulations regarding sugar, flour and meat. Each community had workers, and held meetings visited by Miss Wilhite, county demonstrator.

Registration of Women for Service. The township was thoroughly can- vassed. Every woman in Spring Hill and Kingston group registered and nearly every one else.
Service Flag. Each church and school had its service Flag, which necessarily caused a duplication of names, so the county roll is the only authentic one. Spring Hill made a ceremony of dedicating theirs. Two of their blue stars turned to gold. One at Kingston, two at Clarksburg and one at St. Maurice.
Liberty Loan Drives. A. T. Brock, Clarksburg, chairman.

The woman's drive for bond sales outdid the men. The quota was $7,050.00. The amount raised was $21,450.00. Miss Ruby Emmert, Clarksburg, was chair- man.
Y. M. C. A. drives all exceeded their quota, one by Erle Hamilton, chairman, made 180 per cent. gain.
Knights of Columbus also made a successful drive.
The final drive for United War Work, conducted by T. M. Hamilton ; quota $21,600.00, amount raised $23,000.00.
Special Features of Work. An enthusiastic Flag raising, north of Clarksburg, at the home of Jeff C. Davis, with speeches and band.
Red Cross Market. Fugit's contribution, $123.55.
July 4th, 1918, in the demonstration in Greensburg, Fugit furnished one of the most noticeable floats; and all the War Mothers, and Red Cross workers marched in the parade.
The Spring Hill church granted their pastor, Rev. Frederick Elliott, a leave of absence for one month in the fall of 1917, that he might visit the army camps of the southwest division of the national army, as a visiting evangelist under the
129
IN THE WORLD WAR
direction of the Y. M. C. A. During this time he visited eleven different camps and delivered twenty-eight addresses to thousands of soldier boys.
Rev. Homer Campbell, pastor of the Kingston church, resigned in April. 1918, to be a Y. M. C. A. war secretary. He went immediately to England and served in London for six months, being one of the most efficient workers.
He was then sent to Paris where he was second to President King, head of the Paris Y. M. C. A. He remained in Paris till July, 1919.
Francis J. Baronowsky, principal of the St. Maurice school, gave up his work to help the Government in clerical work during the entire period of the war. His health not permitting him to do more active service.
Walter Moore had the opportunity to render distinguished service in the Argonne. He captured thirty-five Germans and brought them in single handed. He was decorated for bravery by the French Government.
Whether at home, in camp, or over seas, Fugit is justly proud of her sons, and fully appreciates every sacrifice and labor of love of her daughters.

HISTORY OF JACKSON TOWNSHIP
The people of Jackson township may well cherish with pride their record in all the activities during the World war. They were prompt and thorough in response to each patriotic call bearing their share of the burden of the momentous struggle.
130
DECATUR COUNTY
There being no incorporated town within its border, all meetings, all drives were from rural centers. Nevertheless it was among the first to get in line of work.
The first meeting was held at Alert for Red Cross membership. Here a fine program was rendered and a Flag raised. Patriotism ran high. The call for ($1.00) one dollar membership fee was met with prompt response.
Roy Campbell was chairman of the Red Cross of Jackson township, and Mrs. Steuben Pleak, chairman of the membership committee. George M. Claypole, of Sardinia, did most effectual work in organizing the first money drive for Red Cross in July, 1917, and he, with his solicitors, worked unceasingly until the quota for the township was raised.
John H. Deniston, chairman of south precinct, with his daughter, Miss Audrey, was an ever ready and efficient worker. Roy Campbell took charge of the working of Alert and vicinity.
Red Cross sewing was the main feature of women's work. Mrs. Ovid Houze, president of the Ladies' Aid Society, of Waynesburg Christian Church, organized the ladies of the vicinity into a circle, sewing regularly each week from August, 1917, until the call for hospital garments ceased.
Mrs. Frank Sater, of Alert, distributed sewing from her home. Mrs. Addie Kelley, president of Alert Food Club, also distributed sewing. Mrs. Bertha Deniston and Miss Audrey Deniston had charge of the work in Sardina. The ladies of Forest Hill Presbyterian Church made garments in their Aid Society. Mrs. Frank Sater, of Alert, gave a number of musical programs. Benefits all for Red Cross.
The County Council of Defense organized the township council, appointing three in the township as leaders; two men and one woman: Ed Thurston. E. T. Fraley, and Mrs. S. D. Pleak.
They organized the township in four districts, appointing a committee of seven for each ; five men and two women.
Committee of each district are as follows :

I31
IN THE WORLD WAR
Alert: John Thomas, S. B. Lynch, Ralph Anderson, Lafe Dixon, C. L. Hill, Mrs. Addie Kelley, Mrs. Lena Dixon.
Child Welfare Week came as an urgent call upon the busy women. All children six years of age and, under were asked to be given the physical examina- tion, also weighed and measured. In this work, the women of the Township Council of Defense and the Food Club president gave most valuable aid. Jackson township at this date had no resident medical doctor. The parents were asked to take the children to Westport in the south precinct, and the north precinct were taken to Letts. Through the courtesy of Sand Creek township, the tests were made. In this there was very near a hundred per cent. response to the call. One child was ill; one too young to be taken from home.
The committee appointed for the first Armenian drive: Wilber Thurston, Ovid Houze.
Frank Shaw was the solicitor for the first call for funds for the Y. M. C. A., 1917.
In the drive for funds of November, 1917, S. D. Pleak organized the township. Cliff Fulton, chairman of south section.
The second week in April, 1918, Mrs. Marie Van Pleak was appointed organizer of United States Food clubs for township by the county president.
The State charter was granted to Jackson township April 15, 1918.
Four Food clubs were at once created : Alert, Mrs. Addie Kelley, president ; Sardinia, Mrs. Charles Deniston, president ; Waynesburg, Mrs. Harry Carr, president ; Forest Hill, Mrs. E. T. Fraley, president.
Through these clubs the extreme necessity of sacrifice was pointed out where each was defined; every decision was an act of war policy. Everything to eat was measured from one single point of view: will it contribute to the end of the war, or contribute to its prolongation? It was through the Food clubs that all literature. cards, posters, and anything pertaining to food conservation were distributed.
The task of registration of all women and girls over eighteen years of age was accomplished through members of the clubs, who made the house to house canvass. Not one home was omitted. Those who so efficiently worked in this were: Mrs. Addie Kelley, Miss Cordia Rodgers, Mrs. Lena Dixon Hern, Mrs. Audrey Deniston, Mrs. Dale Deniston Wright, Mrs. Charles Deniston, Mrs. Frank Evans, Mrs. Ray Deniston, Miss Marie Shera, Mrs. J. T. Alexander. Mrs. Harry Carr, Miss Jessie Mitchell, Mrs. Ovid Houze, Mrs. E. T. Fraley.
