    Notes:
    OLD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LIVED IN O'BRIEN COUNTY, IA
    Compiled by Geo W. Schee and O.H. Montzheimer
    1909, Primghar, IA
    Prepared for the Internet by Don Harrington

    The Book, "Old Soldiers Who Have lived in O'Brien County, Iowa" was published in 1909. Mr Montzheimer did most of the work and Mr Schee furnished most of the funds for publication, printing and postage. It appears that the book was not sold, but a copy was furnished free to each veteran's family. The information on these approximately 500 veterans provide much information on their families in addition to providing their military records. I wish to thank Colleen Boose for making a copy of the book available to me so that it could be placed on the O'Brien website.
