Prior to women getting the right to vote in 1920? a woman automatically became a citizen when she married a citizen. If she later divorced or became a widow, and married a non-citizen, she would then revert to alien status. There would be no records denoting the change. Times have changed.

Do you mean the personnel records for the police department or the police work records/crimes solved, etc.? The Northeast Minnesota Historical Center at UMD has the Duluth Police Department's personnel record book starting near 1920 because I found my grandfather who joined the force in 1921 on page 3 of book 2; I'm not sure how early book 1 starts. But it included personal info (birth, height, weight, previous occupations) and his assignments over the years up to retirement in the 1940s. I hope this helps.

If you knew a time period, like a week or month, couldn't you search the newspaper? Seems to me they put police arrests, etc. in the paper years ago. Matter of fact I was on the front page of a section in 1980, and the call was listed. Maybe you could try that. Court cases used to be listed as well. I know that here in Minneapolis the paper quit doing the log due to volume. The neighborhood papers quit doing the log because they wanted people to get a good impression (like they don't listen to the news). Anyway, it couldn't be anymore difficult than trying to find an obit in the 1920s...

Sundquist developed pneumonia while at Brest and died there on October 11, 1918. At that time he held the grad of corporal. The body was exhumed in 1920 and returned to this country, eventually reaching Duluth. Burial service was held on July 21st, former comrades firing the last salute over his grave at Park Hill Cemetery, Duluth. The funeral cermonies were held under the auspices of the Duluth post of the American Legion. Leslie Severt Swanman, who was a shipping clerk with the Knudson Fruit Company, Duluth, before enlisting, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on December 12, 1892. Duluth has been the home of the family for a long time and his mother still lives there, at 915 North Seventh Avenue, East. Leslie was enlisted at Duluth on May 25, 1918, and sent to Camp Lewis, Washington, where he was assigned to Company L, One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Infantry, Fortieth Division. On July 25th he was transferred to Camp Kearney and there transferred to the Three Hundred and Twenty-fourth Infantry, Eighty-first Division. On August 20th he embarked at New York and made quick passage to Liverpool, eventually reaching France. He was in front-line trenches in the Vosges Mountains; was present in the battle of St. Mihiel, and passed through terrible fighting in the Meuse-Aronne offensive. On November 10, 1918, just one day before the signing of the Armistice, he was wounded in action at Haudimont, and died of those wounds twelve days later, on November 22, 1918. Edward B. Swanson lived at Saginaw, Minnesota, son of Ben Swanson, of that place. Wallace J. Taylor was of Virginia, where his mother still is. Olaf Ugstad, of Duluth, was born October 3, 1891, at Hurum, Buskruds County, Norway, but has been in America for many years.

He was a married man at time of enlistment, and his wife, Lydia, still lives in Eveleth. Peter left for military duty on May 17, 1918, and went to France with an infantry regiment. He was killed in action in France on November 1, 1918. Leander Waillin, lived at Sandy, Minnesota, where his father, Tom Waillin, has a farm. The family is Finnish, and Leander was born in Finland on September 8, 1886. He was included in the second Duluth draft for the National Army, but was destined not to go overseas. During the epidemic of Spanish Influenza which swept through the home cantonments in the autumn of 1918, Waillin contracted the disease, and died on November 10, 1918, being then at Camp Kearney, California. Aino Nicanor Wene was a stalwart agricultural pioneer of Buyck, St. Louis County. He was developing an acreage of wild land near Buyck when called into service in September, 1917. He was assigned to the Corps of Engineers and ultimately reached France, where he was killed in action on October 15, 1918. His sister, Mrs. Niemi Ahlgren, lives in Buyck, but the Wene family is of Finnish origin, Aino was born at Rauma, Finland, January 10, 1892. Philip T. White was of Ely, son of Harry E. White, of that place. Arthur Charles Williams was a native of Hibbing, although the family lived at Kinney at the time he enlisted. He was born on December 26, 1898, and lived on the Ranges practically all his life, his father having been connected with mining operations on the Range for almost a generation. He, William Williams, latterly has been blacksmith in the shops of the Oliver Iron Mining Company at Hibbing. The son was not yet twenty years old when, on August 5, 1918, he enlisted in the Medical Department of the United States army. He was almost immediately assigned to overseas duty and soon after landing in France was taken sick, pneumonia developing. He died at Brest on September 26, 1918, and was there buried. In 1920, however, his body was returned to the United States and arrived at Virginia on June 12, 1920. Burial took place in the part of Virginia Cemetery set apart to mark the last resting place of its World War heroes who made the Supreme Sacrifice. David Gilbert Wisted, in whose honor the Duluth post of the American Legion was named, was born in Duluth on September 13, 1893. In the early days of the war, he was a clerk with the United States Food Administration, but he enlisted in the Marine Corps on December 14, 1917, at Paris Isle. He was assigned to the Eighty-second Company, and for a time was stationed at Paris Isle and Quantico, Virginia. On February 24, 1918, he was transferred to the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Company, Replacement Battalion, and later to the Sixth Marines, embarking at Philadelphia on March 12th, 1918. Debarking at Brest on April 1, 1918, the Marines were soon at the front and were destined to bring glory to their country, in the part they took in the fighting at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood in May and June of that vital year. Wisted was killed in action at Belleau Wood on June 3, 1918, being instantly killed by a high-explosive shell. His father, Iver Wisted, lives at 1201 East Fourth Street, Duluth. John Oscar Wuori is listed with the men from Duluth, but he lived in Gilbert for some time prior to enlistment. He was a Finn, born at Pomarkku, Finland, March 9, 1888. He reported for duty on August 8, 1918, and was sent to Camp Dodge, Iowa, where he was assigned to Company Thirty, One Hundred and Sixty-third Depot Brigade. He died of pneumonia in that camp on October 8, 1918. As will be appreciated from a reading of the foregoing some of these men had wide accomplishments and definite capability, some were worthy tillers of the soil and some were industrious workers in commercial affairs of St. Louis County. But all were patriots; and the names of all who have been inscribed on the great national Roll of Honor, there to remain for as long as the great republic lasts. And for as long as there is a County of St. Louis, Minnesota, for so long will these of her sons be sillingly and deservedly accorded the place of honor in any comprehensive review of the County's part of the Great World War.

Walter Van Brunt, Duluth and St. Louis County: Their Story and People, Vol. II (Chicago and New York: The American Historical Society, 1921), p. 654-656 Yalmer Leonard Saari, of Virginia and Duluth, was born October 27, 1895, at Calumet, Houghton County, Michigan.

Sigel, who is listed as a volunteer from Virginia, was a native of Duluth, born there on June 28, 1900. The family, however, has lived in Virginia for many years, and the boy was in school there. In fact, he volunteered in his senior high-school year and was graduated by proxy, with seven others who received diplomas. He enlisted on May 25, 1918, and became a member of Company B, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Engineers, with which regiment he went overseas. He passed through the exciting latter half of 1918, but in February, 1919, suffered from bronchitis, at Brest, France, from which he never recovered. He returned to this country and was sent to Fort Bayard, New Mexico, his lungs having become affected. He died there on June 14, 1919, of tuberculosis. "A serious, righ-living, clean-minded young man," Father J. O'Brien, army chaplain at Fort Bayard testified of him. Matt Smuky, who made the Supreme Sacrifice, lived in McKinley before the war.

Listers, It is my understanding that there are no records available from that time period. I have tried to locate police records (cases that did not go to court) into the 1960's and they have been destroyed. Cases that went to court will be listed in the Criminal and Civil court records. Civil court records should be available but I don't know the restrictions for the criminal court cases. Hope this helps. Kathy N.

Does any one know where these are kept or if access is possible? I suppose if they even exsist? Craig dreamcrusher@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Thanks so much for posting that information on the list. My uncle, John Christopher, was one of the men mentioned. I knew he had been killed in action in France, but it was interesting to get a few more personal tidbits of information about him. Thanks again for sharing. Barb Werner

This was excellent. Thanks for posting it. Sharyn -

Greetings, all (from this mornings "Herald" as I still call it) I see something there about a biography index. Please don't inundate the librarians with too many routine questions. But maybe someone can lobby them and see what kinds of genealogical/historical information would be available. Don't forget "inter-Library Loan." It often is the best $3 you'll ever spend. (Been awful quiet lately folks. Must be the interminable winter) Ray Marshall -------------- Local & State News Duluth library unveils new online goodies By Bob Linneman News Tribune staff writer For months, staffers at the Duluth Public Library have been fine-tuning what they consider to be the next great addition to their catalog, a longstanding provider of education and information in the Twin Ports. The library's Web site -- www.duluth.lib.mn.us -- is a search engine and research tool all its own. And with next week being National Library Week, the staff wants to show off. "You can use our hard work to make your life easier,'' said Lucie Holzemer, the fiction collection librarian. "What it does compared to a regular search engine is we eliminate all the noise. We're really helping you find what you want to find.'' The Web site has organized and expanded its electronic resources to such an extent that nearly anything can be found from your home computer. >From biography databases to local clubs and organizations, government, obituaries and an impressive list of online newspapers and journals, the site seems almost endless. What the library staff members have worked to develop is an easy way for the services to be accessed by the public. "It's a timesaver,'' Library Director Beth Kelly said Friday. "We're starting to see more use of the Web site and more holds (on books) coming from people's homes.'' The library's site averages 4,000 to 5,000 hits a month and that number is increasing, said Nancy Eaton of the library's community services department. Kelly said the Web site project is funded for three years by the state. In 2000, the first year of the site, the cost was $1.5 million, which included subscriptions to a variety of online services that Northland residents can access free of charge. While the state pays the bulk of the cost, the city of Duluth spent $1,500 for a subscription to "NoveList,'' a site ideal for book groups, schools and others who thirst for more information about authors or specific works. The database includes more than 96,000 fiction titles and more than half of those include reviews, awards or comparisons with other works. NoveList, which also allows people to search for out-of-print books, promises to be one reason library officials expect the site to continue its growth. The library's Web site also offers a direct link to Duluth librarians, who can handle questions and other inquiries via e-mail. Eaton said she is pleased with the site's progress so far, but more is to come. "It's a work in progress,'' she said. "It's very exciting finding things we can add.'' The Duluth library staff invites Northland residents to celebrate National Library Week, beginning Monday. All you have to do is sign on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Bob Linneman is a community reporter.

Walter Van Brunt, Duluth and St. Louis County: Their Story and People, Vol. II (Chicago and New York: The American Historical Society, 1921), p. 652-654 Carl William Peterson was the son of August W. Peterson, 5632 West Eighth Street, Duluth. Ernest O. Peterson, also of Duluth, was brother of Arthur W. Peterson, 2702 West Third Street, Duluth. Harold Peterson, brother of Mrs. Carl Olson, 427 Forty-third Avenue, West, Duluth, lived in Duluth before the war came. Helmer A. Peterson was born in Duluth, and was well-known. He was born January 23, 1894, son of John and Hannah Peterson, and his academic schooling was obtained in Duluth schools. He became a pharmacist and in that capacity was employed at Beyers Drug Store, Duluth, for some time before reporting for military duty on September 21, 1917. He was sent from Duluth to Camp Dodge, Iowa, and assigned to the Medical Corps, 350th F. A., 313th Sanitary Train. At Camp Dodge he remained for the winter and would probably have gone overseas in 1918 had he not succumbed to disease at Camp Dodge, on April 10, 1918. His mother now lives at 119 East Third Street, Duluth. Henning O. Peterson lived at 520 West Superior Street, Duluth, before entering the army. His brother, Arvid, lives in Chicago. Rudolph Peterson was the son of Oscar R. Peterson, of 912 North Fifty-seventh Avenue, West, Duluth. Rudolph worked in Duluth before entering the service.

Louis was born August 17, 1891, at Trovi, Russia, but had lived in the United States for many years before the war. He was enlisted in February, 1918, and went overseas with an infantry regiment. He was killed in action in France on August 15, 1918. Clyde E. Prudden, who became a major of the Medical Corps, United States army and was much respected by the men of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Field Artillery, was a well-known and successful physician of Duluth before the state of war into which the nation became in 1917 so radically changed the course of the lives of so many of its worthiest citizens. Major Prudden was born in Duluth, and attended local schools. For the medical course he proceeded to Northwestern University, from which he graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, with the class of 1909. In 1912 he was an associate of Dr. C. A. Stewart, in practice in Duluth, and later with Drs. Bagby, Kohagan and Gillespie. He was for many years interested in military affairs, and in peace time was a member of the old Third Minnesota Infantry. He went with the regiment to Fort Snelling, and when it was converted from an infantry to a field artillery unit, he was advanced in rank and made senior officer of the Medical Detachment at the Base Hospital. Within a short time, he was again promoted and became major. Eventually, he became senior major of the Regimental Medical Detachment of the One Hundred Twenty-fifth Field Artillery. From August, 1917, to the autumn of the following year, he was with the regiment at Fort Deming, New Mexico. In September, the regiment went overseas and during the voyage Major Prudden developed pneumonia, from which he died before the regiment debarked. Doctor Prudden was married in Oklahoma City in January, 1918, and a child was born to his widow five or six months after his death. Both widow and child, however, met a tragic death, being drowned in the tidal wave that swept Corpus Christie, on September 14, 1919. The body of Major Prudden was returned to the United States in October, 1920. It was received in Duluth on November 1, 1920, and reinterred on American soil in his native city, with full military honors and with many other indications of the respect in which his memory is held by people of Duluth. His father is A. E. Prudden, of 3501 Minnesota Avenue. Otto Pusarim, another of the soldiers of Ely who gave national service to the full, was the son of Matt Pusarim of Ely. Howard C. Quigley, who was killed in action in the Argonne Forest, France, November 4, 1918, was a native of Duluth, born in the city July 18, 1894, the son of James R. Quigley, now of 123 Minneapolis Avenue, Duluth. Young Quigley passed through the Duluth schools, and was with the American Bridge Company, Duluth, when called into service on April 26, 1918, at Duluth. As a private of infantry, he was sent to Camp Dodge, Iowa, and became a member of Company D, Three Hundred and Sixtieth Infantry, Ninetieth Division, going to Camp Travis, Texas, within three weeks of reaching Camp Dodge. In June, 1918, his regiment embarked at Hoboken and was soon in action in France.

He saw three years of terribly hard service in France, and passed through the severe fighting of 1916 and 1917 without so much as a scratch. Early in 1918, however, he was wounded, and when partially convalescent was sent on recruiting duty to Scotland. That assignment accomplished, however, he was again ordered to France, and was again wounded. That was on July 22, 1918, but the wound was not a serious one and he was soon back in the trenches, only, however, to meet instant death in action on August 8, 1918. He surely served the cause of Liberty to the full. Edward J. McDermott, eighteen-year-old son of James McDermott, of 2325 West Ninth Street, Duluth, enlisted in the Marine Corps, on April 15, 1918, and died in France on August 10th of that year. Before leaving home he was in the employ of Duluth Paper and Stationery Company. Clarence McDonald is listed among those Virginia boys who did not return. His widow, Mrs. Jennie McDonald, now lives in Duluth. McDonald was killed in action in France. Kenneth McInnis, who had lived in Duluth for some years and was in the employ of the Duluth Marine Supply Company, was of Scottish birth, and in October, 1917, enlisted in the Canadian Army. He crossed the sea in the spring of 1918, and in September, or October, following, was killed in action in France. Luther McKey was of Duluth, his military papers show. Frederick Thomas McLain, son of W. D. McLain, of Kenwood Park, Duluth, enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned to the U. S. S. "Alabama." He died of spinal meningitis in 1918. Douglas McLean was the son of George McLean, of 915 East Fifth Street, Duluth. Robert McLennan, who died in France in 1918, of wounds received in action, was formerly of Duluth residence, living with his aunt, Mrs. M. C. Littleworth, at 409 Mesaba Avenue. He was assigned to the Chemical Service, and was a member of the First Gas Regiment, American Expeditionary Forces. Garrick McPhail, of Duluth, was in the Air Service. His mother is Mrs. Margaret McPhail, of 821 West Fourth Street. Kenneth D. MacLeod, of Duluth, was born July 5, 1898, at Rice Lake, Wisconsin, where his mother, Mrs. George MacLeod still lives. Early in 1917 Kenneth enlisted in the Machine Gun Section of the Third Wisconsin National Guard. He was killed in action in France in October, 1918.
