The Draft and Volunteers from Lampasas County.
World War I
The Lampasas Leader, September 7, 1917.
Five Men to Mobilization Camp
 Lampasas county’s first quota of five men left here Wednesday on the 12:50
H.&T.C. train for San Antonio where they will report to the mobilization camp.  The
people here now realize what the army draft means; it means that Lampasas county will
furnish 92 of her best young men, of which the first five are good representatives, for the
draft army being raised.
 The young men who composed the first quota - John C. Abney, Sam Dickens, Jr.,
Walter Hallmark, Feliz Gribble and Chester Weaver - met at the courthouse at 12:15
where the Boy Scout band played a short selection and then led the parade to the H.&T.C.
depot where a large crowd of relatives and friends of these young men had gathered to bid
them good bye.  The men were in charge of John Abney as captain and Sam Dickens,
second in command.  The band played several selections while waiting for the departure of
the train.  Shortly before the departure the men were lined up and answered roll call, after
which Scoutmaster D.R. Hardison addressed the boys with a three-minute talk in which he
praised these young men who were now going to the call of their country and made them
feel that they had the best wishes and most hearty support of those friends and loved ones
they were leaving behind.
 Charles Wachendorfer was to have gone in the first quota but his name has not
been certified to the local board by the district board and for this reason he is held in
reserve.  Howard Mace is also held in reserve for the first quota and should any of the men
in the five fail to pass the examination in San Antonio Mr. Wachendorfer or Mr. Mace will
then be called to take their place.
 After much handshaking and good byes from the crowd the boys boarded the train
and the band played Dixie while the crowd loudly cheered them on their way.
 James L. Abney also left on the same train for Houston where he will report for
training in the navy.  Tom Richey left here on the early morning train for Burnet and will
join the crowd at that place and go on to Houston where he will also report for service in
the navy.
The Lampasas Leader, September 21, 1917
Sixty-One to Army Mobilization Camp In San Antonio
 Sixty young men left here Wednesday over the H.&T.C. for San Antonio where
they are to report to the army mobilization camp.  Sixty left on the train from this place
and Luke Ligon of Adamsville, is already in San Antonio and will join the boys and report
to the mobilization camp, making the total number sixty-one.
 The boys met at the court house and marched behind the boy scout band to the
H.&T.C. depot where a special coach was provided for them.  The band played several
selections while waiting for the departure of the train and a large crowd of friends and
loved ones were there to bid the boys good bye.
 There were fifty who reported to roll call Tuesday, but Tuesday night the local
board received a telegram requesting that they send every available white man who had
been certified by the district board.  Following are those who left here Wednesday:

Eight Men to Camp Travis.
 Eight men were entrained here Saturday at noon for Camp Travis where they will
complete the quota for Lampasas county in the first draft.  This was a husky bunch of boys
and they were all in fine spirits and ready and willing to do their part in capturing the
Kaiser.  Lampasas county only needed seven men to complete the draft but George H.
Daugherty of Lometa requested the local board to obtain permission to send him at this
time and they did so.  Mr. Daugherty was more than anxious to go and we predict that he
will go “over the top” if given a chance.  Belle McLean of Lometa was selected as captain
for the men during the trip to San Antonio and following were placed in his charge: Clint
Ray Hall, Lometa; George W. Casbeer, Lampasas; Thomas J. Castleberry, Oakalla; Vol
W. Webb, Temple; Ernest H. Faulkner, Lampasas, Jonnie W. Carpenter, Lampasas;
George H. Daugherty, Lometa.

the draft.
The Lampasas Leader, March 29, 1918

The Lampasas Leader, May 3, 1918
Reported for Military Service.
 The local draft board received its quota of nine men for the present call from the
first men on the list of those notified to appear.  The government is now allowing an
extension of time for those actively engaged in agriculture, and for this reason the board
had called several additional men in order that they would be sure to secure their number.
None of the men claimed any deferred call and the first nine men on the list were accepted.
The Lampasas board has never had any trouble in securing their quotas as the young men
are always ready to go when their call comes.
 The nine secured are Ralph H. Neely, Morris B. Tittle, Henry H. Martin, William
A. Glenn, Robert Cecil Brown, L.C. Ulrich, Clint O. Terry, George J. Arnold, and Henry

with this contingent as will Thomas Hutchieson of Montana and Charles I. LaBounty of
Kent County, who secured transfers to this board.

volunteered for service in the quartermaster’s mechanical repair shop at Fort Sam
Houston.  All of these gentlemen will leave here Saturday at 12:50 for San Antonio.

theatre Friday evening as his guests.
