Abstract:

Records of a group founded in 1917 to provide community disaster relief and services to soldiers and veterans. The records include correspondence, a history, minutes, reports of the executive secretary, scattered financial records, records on area veterans, and records on activities of the chapter, largely newspaper accounts of disasters and Red Cross relief work. The activity records also include a few reports on national conventions; papers from campaigns to support soldiers, locate blood donors and volunteers, and enroll nurses; a list of federal relief supplies distributed to town chairmen during the Depression; clippings on 1930 and 1958 tornado relief efforts; 1931 drought relief records; and a few photographs. Veterans' records were compiled from official sources and list mainly Dunn County and area soldiers, with addresses, next of kin, date of enlistment or discharge, cause of death, and other information.
