WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS
The first movement toward forming an auxiliary relief corps was when several comrades talked over the suggestion and afterward at a meeting of the post, early in 1883, a committee was appointed to request the attendance of the ladies to meet for consultation. Only one comrade and three ladies put in an appearance. Later on the post invited their wives and daughters to attend their next meeting, and ascertain how many would sign for a charter for a woman's relief corps for Robert Anderson Post. The result was very gratifying; between thirty and forty names were handed in, each accompanied with one dollar to pay for charter and badges. Post Commander Laycock wrote to national headquarters at Boston, Mass. (there being no department of Nebraska at that time). November 13, 1883, the com- mander instituted in the presence of the post the "Robert Anderson Woman's Relief Corps, No. 5, auxiliary to Robert Anderson Post No. 32," and installed the following as officers: President, Mrs. Juliet G. Howe; senior vice president, Mrs. Lizzie Newman : chaplain. Mrs. Barbara Chapman ; secretary, Mrs. Nettie Hartin ; treasurer, Mrs. L. D. Stilson ; condnetor, Mrs. Jennie Andrews; guard, Mrs. Lilian Baldwin.

SONS AND GRANDSONS
The following press excerpt describes the start of this organization in York County :
Descendants of Veterans Organize Camp in This City
John Lett Camp is the name very properly bestowed upon an organization of Sons of Veterans etfeeted in this eity during the week of July 4, 1918. The new feature in loeal military affairs starts off with thirty-six charter members, and there is every promise that it will grow. Pat Barrows of Lincoln was the installing officer and he was assisted by State Auditor Smith, division commander ; Paul Goss, senior division commander ; L. W. Garoutte, counselor ; Messrs. Hiram Myers, Frank Mills, G. E. Stille and George A. Dart, all of the capital city, were also present.
The officers of the new formation are: W. G. Liggett, commander ; E. B. Koon, S. V. C .; R. M. Rankin, J. V. C .; W. W. Wyckoff, M. O. MeLaughlin and J. H. Newbold, camp counsel : Rev. S. Harvey, chaplain ; Rev. L. R. Bobbitt, patriotic instructor : Chas. F. Stroman, guide ; L. F. Richardson, color bearer; Harry Ship- man, inside guard ; Lee Warman, outside guard ; George DeBord, treasurer, and Raymond Woodrum, secretary.
Let us include a recent appreciation penned of the noble purposes of this organi- zation :
SONS OF VETERANS
By invitation of Commander Lett we visited with him John Lett Camp S. of V. last Thursday night at Fraternal Hall, it being the regular meeting, the one prescribed for the election of officers. This visit awakened some thoughts, some reflections, which, while no one has suggested that they be by mne given, yet

HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY
pardon me if in obedience to the impulse, always strong. I break into the good old Republican office long enough to delineate a few of these same reflections. First, that although the young organization is somewhat impeded in its onward push by certain conditions, yet we could not but admire the spirit manifested by those present at that meeting. They extended their lease of life by the selec- tion of a full corps of officers which no doubt will come to the public from an official and, therefore, more authentic source.
We speak of the spirit of these Sons. Why should they not display spirit ? Some, yes many, of these boys are gray headed, indicating that they were begotten and horn while their honored fathers-and mothers-were yet in the full flush of their conscious achievements, the preservation of our Union, its flag returned with not a star of its blue field erased, not a stripe nor a line of its illustrious history torn nor besmirelied. Begotten and born in the full tide of virile patriotism do we say, and is it any wonder that this large class now in full possession of the world's business and world's affairs should manifest somewhat of spirit? We are proud of them. They, with our Daughters of Veterans, who, as we learn, have effected a fine organization, strong both numerically and morally, are our rightful, our only logical legatees. We are proud of them, both and each, and feel a good degree of confidence in their will and ability to care for and perpetuate the proud legacy we so soon, even now, must bequeath them. May they prove true to their trust, a united country one, one respected and feared alike by the whole world ; whose flag, untarnished, floats freely over all; symbolizing the central tenet of our good government. "Equal Rights for All, Special Privileges for None."

TIIE AMERICAN LEGION POST NO. 19, DEPARTMENT OF NEBRASKA
April 22, 1919, a group of ex-service men met in County Court room at the request of York County Commercial Club and founded the York County World War Veteran Association.
On April 29, 1919, they met again and elected Geo. H. Holdeman commander ; Edward White, senior vice commander : D. D. King, junior vice commander ; Harry Hubbel, secretary; and Leigh Lincoln, treasurer. This continued as such during the summer till September 25, 1919, when it was voted to transfer organization as a whole and take up charter of York Post No. 19, American Legion Depart- ment of Nebraska, which had been procured by fifteen members only in order to facilitate matters. The first officers after taking over American Legion charter were : D. D. King, commander : Wray Edwards, vice commander : Wendell Froid, secretary ; and Edward Shrigley, treasurer. Wendell Froid later resigned and Peter Meehan was elected secretary.
