1940s era newsclippings from local newspapers 
The Jefferson Banner, Jefferson County Union, Fort Daily News, Fort Bargainer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
*Note:  Clippings are rather difficult to read.  Many were yellow and fragile and came from veteran's scrapbooks.  It is sometimes difficult to tell which local newspaper the clipping is from.  Special thanks to Mary Ann Gleisner from the Jefferson Historical Society as well as Karen O'Connor from the Hoard Historical Museum in Fort Atkinson for providing background information.  Back issues of the Jefferson Banner are available at the Jefferson Public Library.
