Excerpt from Twenty-Seventh Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the City of Laconia, New Hampshire, for the Year Ending February 15, 1920: Together With Other Annual Reports and Papers Relating to the Affairs of the City One of the greatest history making years the world has ever known has passed since the last inauguration and we in our 'quie't city can hardly realize the magnitude of it, but Laconia has not been idle and has responded nobly to every call to help carry on the war. She furnished 577 men and thirteen nurses out of which I am happy to say only two were killed in battle, one died from wounds and thirteen died from disease, and a committee from this body has in charge the procuring of a suitable memorial in memory of the dead and in honor of the living who risked their lives to make the world safe for democracy. In all of the Liberty Bond drives-she exceeded her quote by thousands and in all other drives went way over the top; the ladies are entitled to a share of the credit having done good work in all of the drives as well as making a vast amount of cloth ing, bandages, etc., that was called for by the Government.
