Check his name via the SEARCH space provided at the top of where we post. (Of course, activate the circle for "Fremont Board", first.) By doing this, we find two more postings: (1)that H. H. B. had been assigned number 292, and that his postoffice address was Hamburg.....(2) The other result from our search regards the marriage of one of his daughters (?). Now, as regards information about any service he might have had, I have come to the conclusion that Fremont county records for World War 1 service men are practically non-existant. Only several years ago, the county was trying to come up with a list of men who had served! (The monument in the courthouse square was being renovated, and the identity of the men thereon named wasn't known. At the time, I was of the opinion that this roster was not county-wide, but named only local service men. Tom "Bum" Ives had come up to the Sidney school during the 1930's telling his audience--I was there--that the records had been destroyed--IF--ever they had been kept....And, I think the soldier's monument in the Thurman park names only local men, too.)) I am quite certain that No. 268 (Thomas Vance McMahon--a distant cousin) was a veteran of World War 1, but of course he could have volunteered......I have (1). a small notebook for items from W.W.1, so will have to get around to posting them. The notebook is NOT indexed, so I don't know who is mentioned. (2) I also have a large stack of loose pages of biographical information where I DO HAVE the names from all those notes i have kept over a half century, indexed. I have not looked there for your man.--Walter
