Poster featuring Columbia and WWI soldier (with Francisco’s name)
Scope and Contents
This series consists of seven folders in box 1, as well as an oversize box that is kept
offsite. One folder contains a certificate from the Association of Army and Navy Stores. Another
contains documents from military service organizations. A third folder contains a blank application
for the Purple Heart, as well as an undated clipping that mentions Francisco’s injury in October
1918. A fourth contains papers related to Francisco’s “adjusted service certificate,” applied for
between 1925 and 1937. Other folders contain a railroad ticket and Pennsylvania Railroad
timetable, documents related to Francisco’s military registration in 1917, and his honorable
