The Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society is looking for short Veteran’s Stories for their website and/or Facebook Page to honor said veterans on Veteran’s Day. Please send any stories that you would like to share to Annette Stewart by the end of October. If the story is written by another member of the family, they need to provide written permission from the veteran before AWTHS is allowed to print or share. Please contact Annette at 937/417-3746 or [email protected].

The childhood home of Brigadier General Edward Sigerfoos located at 5 South Main Street; Arcanum was recently designated as an Arcanum Historical Site. He was the highest-ranking American officer killed during World War I. He was an 1885 graduate of Arcanum High School, and an Ohio State University graduate, class of 1891; it was then that he entered the Army as lieutenant. More information about Brigadier General Sigerfoos is available through the AWTHS. Many thanks to Barb Deis for sharing this information. A plaque was dedicated earlier this year by the AWTHS at his home on South Main Street. Please note this is a private residence and not available for viewing.
