"Elmer Fox was among the large number of Hamilton county young men who ranked high in the spirit of true patriotism. When he learned through his home physician that he was not able physically to pass the rigid examination required for service on the firing line and in the trenches he sought other means of serving his eountry, and naturally turned to that department which seemed to offer the most opportunity for the exercise of the talents which he possessed. Being a mechanie of skill, he applied for service in the non-flying branch of the aviation corps and was accepted."
Another press tribute to another Hamilton county "gold star" was as follows :
"No more shocking news could possibly have come to the people of this county than the message which brought report of the death of Harry F. Gunnerson. Ilis death occurred at the naval hospital at Ellis Island, from diphtheria.

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY
"Harry Gunnerson was member of one of Hamilton county's best families, and himself a capable and high class young man. He was born on the home farm near Marquette twenty-eight years ago, where he grew to manhood and ac- quired his education. He was for some time connected with The Farmers State Bank at Marquette and during that time was the Sun correspondent for that town. Later he went to Oregon and was employed in banks at Madras and Mount Hood, being in one of these institutions about a year."
TOM CORDY GIVES UP HIS LIFE
Tom Cordy was the first young man enlisting from Hamilton county to give up his life in the service of the country. He came to Aurora in the spring of 1917, to take a position as meat cutter in the Hockenbary & Miller market. He was a young man of high capability and pleasing personality. He was some- what retiring in disposition, but earned and retained the friendship of many Aurora people. He was addicted to no bad habits, was a trustworthy employe in all respects and commanded a good salary. Always of gentlemanly and polite demeanor, he was accorded a friendly place with many of our best young people.
Tom was one of the Hamilton county registrants for military service. Mean- while he was making the plans for enlistment in some branch of the service. Four weeks ago he, with a number of other Aurora young men, went to Omaha for the purpose of enlisting. He was accepted at the army recruiting station and that same evening was started on a troop train for Fort Logan, Colorado, there to receive his further assignment to duty.
ALLEN HUTSELL DIES AT CODY
Just as the large audience at the Presbyterian church was being dismissed at the patriotic meeting on a Sunday evening a messenger came to announce the death of Allen W. Hutsell, which had occurred at Camp Cody, New Mexico, early that morning. The message of death had reached the father and brothers at Hampton earlier in the day.
Allen W. Hutsell, son of Urias Hutsell, was among the earliest and the young- est of the volunteers in Company H last summer and spent the latter weeks at Camp Hamilton before the company went south. The initial move toward the recruiting of the company was on April 10th and the records show that lie en- listed on the 12th of that month. He became twenty-one years of age in August following. His mother died some years ago. He leaves three brothers-Milton, who is married; Lloyd, who was drafted at Bayard and is now at Camp Funston, and Ray, who is at home.
At a meeting of the County Council of Defense, Tuesday, February 26, the organization of the Production and Conservation Committee for Hamilton county was completed. County Chairman John A. Whitmore had previously named Hon. W. I. Farley as chairman of this organization, and in brief state- ment Mr. Farley said that his own business and interests would be made second- ary to those of the county and nation, and that he would spare neither time nor effort in doing his full share of the work. At that meeting the personnel of the organization was made complete and is as follows: Chairman, W. I. Farley;

HAMILTON COUNTY IS GENEROUS
J. R. Davidson, who was chairman of the Hamilton county Y. M. C. A. war fund drive and who exerted himself to the uttermost to put the move over the top, received the following letter of appreciation from District Chairman C. C. Smith. It will be noted that in the campaign this district, of which Hamilton county is a part, the apportionment allotted was almost doubled.
"Exeter, Nebraska, February 15, 1918. "Mr. J. R. Davidson, "Chairman, Hamilton County Y. M. C. A. War Fund, "Aurora, Nebraska.
"Dear Mr. Davidson: I am in receipt of your letter of February 11th, enclosing check for $103.96, which added to $3,764.08 received from you Jan- uary 15th, makes a total of $3,868.04 received from Hamilton county.
"On behalf of the state committee and our soldier boys in the training camps and at the front, I want to thank you and your fellow workers and all the givers in Hamilton county for their generous help in this splendid work.
"Every county and nearly every community in this district, including the counties of Hamilton, Polk, York, Fillmore and Thayer, has exceeded its appor- tionment, so that instead of the $16,500.00 asked for from the district, we now have a total of $30,574.68 in cash paid and $800.00 in pledges.
"Very truly yours, "C. C. SMITH, Chairman 12th District."
BIG STAMP DRIVE
The Aurora Sun described Hamilton county's response to this call :
"Since America took over the contract to pacify the kaiser nearly a year ago Nebraska and Hamilton county have been called upon to make some big drives, and in every instance the call has been met by a one hundred per cent answer and better. Hamilton county stands out with a proud record of having exceeded its requirements in every instance, from the enlisting of men for service all down the line of war activity. On March 22nd this good old county registered again and placed lier credit marks high at the masthead of patriotic endeavor. The big War Savings Stamp drive has been made. The people of the county have poured forth their dollars for Uncle Sam's use in unstinted measure-they have loaned their government many thousands of dollars more than had been asked, and the end is not yet.
"March 22 was the day fixed by proclamation for the big drive, and meetings were held in all the school districts of the state. The afternoon of that day was a holiday. Schools were dismissed and business houses were closed until late in

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY
the evening, giving everybody, employer and employe, the chance to attend the meetings, buy stamps and encourage others to do so. Yale B. Huffman of the First National Bank was the chairman of the drive for Hamilton county, and days before the big drive had his organization perfected and ready. Today he is one of the best pleased men in the county. Ile had to negleet his own business and he is tired, but the results more than compensate for these things, and he is satisfied.
"Hamilton county's quota of stamp sales was $271,000.00 based upon its population. The reports are not complete, a few of the districts not having reported, but the amount already reported shows that the county has gone ap- proximately $60,000.00 beyond its quota. Almost every district in the county exceeded the quota allotted. Every district in which there was a town went far beyond the quota. In the city of Aurora the quota was $60,000.00. The amount subscribed was $65,000.00.
"Giltner rounded out the day with her quota doubled and Hampton went $5,000.00 beyond the mark. Comparative figures for the other towns of the county are not at hand, but all of them went over and beyond their allotted amounts. The total subscriptions reported to Chairman Huffman up to this time, which includes all purchases and subscriptions for stamps from the be- ginning of the campaign and to the close of the drive, is $320,170.00. Esti- mating that the eight districts from which reports have not been received will have a total of $10,000.00, the grand total for the county will reach $330,000.00, or about $60,000 more than the amount which Hamilton county was asked to subscribe. The estimates for the eight districts not reported is low, so the county will have easily gone more than twenty per cent above its mark."
AURORA LIBERTY LOAN CANVASS
For a canvass of the residence section of the city made for the sale of Liberty Bonds. Dr. J. D. M. Buckner, chairman of the soliciting committee had appointed the following men to assist him: J. K. Hartnell, E. S. Johnson, N. S. Brown, O. F. Arnold, C. M. Johns, George Hammond, D. W. Call, R. L. Ahara, Dick Hogg, William Rutherford and J. H. Murphy.
The city was districted for these workers, so that the canvass be made in the shortest time and with the greatest thoroughness.
