On This Date in Minnesota History: January 1

January 1, 1918 – August Maninen and Ernest Palmi were arrested this evening by Hibbing police. They are sought by the Houghton, Mich., authorities with being slackers and not appearing for the draft calls.

The men had registration cards, but failed to appear when their respective boards ordered them to do so.

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including:
census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records.  I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MNHS records. Both short searches and family history reports available.
