Information regarding his family and the date of his arrival in the Pajaro Valley is not known; however, in 1910 he was living with an aunt in Corralitos. While residing in the county, he was employed by the City Grocery and the A & H Grocery. Prior to World War I, Frank moved to Oakland where he worked as a chauffeur for the Ainsworth Brothers. In Oakland he also became active in the entertainment societies known as Le Tres Jolie Club and the Five Forty-five Club. He was known in the East Bay for \"having an unusual talent for rendering popular and comedy songs.\" \r\n\r\nOn June 5, 1917, Frank Field reported to the Oakland draft board and registered for service. Enlistment records described him as being tall and slender with brown hair and blue eyes. He applied for a deferment to support his mother and sister, but it was denied and he was drafted. Following his induction he accompanied the first draft contingency to Camp Lewis, Washington. While at the camp, he was found to have a weak heart and was given a medical discharge. \r\n\r\nField returned home and enlisted in the Naval Reserve. Because of his prior machining experience he was promoted to Machinist Mate Second Class. While undergoing training at San Pedro, California, he applied for enrollment in a special submarine chaser class at Columbia University. After completing that program, he was promoted to Machinist Mate First Class and ordered to New London, Connecticut to await a ship assignment. \r\n\r\nDuring his stay at New London, Frank Field contracted the Spanish influenza and died on September 21, 1918. At the military funeral held for him in Oakland, six sailors served as pallbearers, a firing squad presented a salute and a bugler played \"Taps.\" His burial location is unknown. \r\n\r\n(USCR, 1910 US Census, CA, Santa Cruz; WWIDR; WRP October 8, 1918 4:3;) \r\n\r\n \r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Later his family moved to San Jose, California, where he graduated from high school in 1906. Following high school, Lorenson joined the San Jose Mercury as a reporter and continued there until his relocation to Watsonville in 1908, where he became the city editor of the Evening Pajaronian. \r\n\r\nLorenson's work, community activities and marriage helped to cement him to Watsonville. In 1913 Ed married Kate Iverson, a local girl, and the two became popular among the younger set of the period. His career with the newspaper continued to grow and he was active in local baseball and sports. \r\n\r\nIn 1916 Lorenson helped to form Company L of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the California National Guard in Watsonville. Later in the year the unit was activated and ordered to the Mexican border. Ed Lorenson resigned his position at the Evening Pajaronian to serve as its first sergeant. In early 1917 the company returned home, was mustered out and Lorenson returned to work at the Evening Pajaronian. \r\n\r\nAlthough Ed Lorenson's former military service might have exempted him from the draft he saw it as his obligation to serve. At the time of his draft registration in June 1917 he was described as being tall and \"stout\" with light colored hair and blue eyes. On September 26 he was inducted into the army in the second draft and sent to Camp Lewis, Washington, for training. Upon arrival he was assigned to the 363rd Infantry Regiment of the 91st Infantry Division, promoted to corporal and placed in charge of new recruits. Throughout his stay at the camp Lorenson wrote articles describing camp life that were printed in the Watsonville Evening Pajaronian. \r\n\r\nIn June 1918 the 363rd Infantry Regiment left Camp Lewis and traveled cross-country to Camp Merritt, New Jersey, and on July 6, 1918, departed for France. In September they were ordered to the front to participate in the Meuse Argonne offensive. A letter received by Ed's wife, Kate, from the Red Cross detailed the events leading his death. \r\n\r\n“Your husband was killed on Sept. 27th, just before dusk probably about 5 o'clock. An account of the circumstances was given me by Captain Frank S. Sever of Company I, who said: We were a few hundred yards from the village of Eclisfontaine on the afternoon of Sept. 27th. About three o'clock that afternoon the company had its first death when Corporal Otto Blau was killed by a sniper. Corporal Lorenson was the second man killed. \r\nAhead of us were about 300 Germans who were in the act of surrendering as Companies K and M of our battalion had encircled them. We had advanced across a ravine from where Corporal Blau had been killed and as we were receiving the surrender of these Germans in the ravine, a heavy German artillery fire began to descend in front of us and upon Companies K and M. Our own artillery began to fire there, and so we were between two fires. The 300 Germans began to run and we opened up on them with rifles and automatics. Eighty-one of them surrendered, many were killed or wounded, and the rest escaped. \r\nWe fell back to the bottom of the ravine to escape the German barrage. The German artillerymen then raised their range and caught us again so we advanced up the slope to our previous position, so as to be ahead of the barrage. Then the barrage ceased, and we halted and took up a posi- tion behind an old German barbed wire entanglement. \r\nIt was about five o'clock. The men were told to eat from their reserve rations. As they were eating, the barrage began again, and the company was ordered down a slope toward the ravine. About this time a six-inch German shell struck Corporal Lorenson and killed him instantly.” \r\n\r\nEdward Hans Lorenson's body was recovered and is buried in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne, France. Following the war, Watsonville's American Legion post was named in his honor. \r\n\r\n(CAG; WWIDR; ABMC; WRP, November 2, 1918; WEP, 1918/11/02)\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Date of burial, location and number of grave unknown. \r\nCharacter that would have been used if discharged…Excellent.” \r\n\r\nClyde Clausen's body was initially buried in France, but was returned home following the war and interred in an unidentified Santa Clara County cemetery by the Monaghan Mortuary. \r\n\r\n(WEP November 12, 1918 5:5; Santa Clara County Historical & Genealogical Society, Monaghan Mortuary Records; US Marine Corps Enlistment Records 1798-1940 Amazon.com; Marine Corps in WWI, With the 4th Brigade of Marines, http://www.scuttlebuttsmallchow.com/4brgchron.html, [16 September 2008]) \r\n \r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Brown of Soquel has received the sad news of the death of her son James, who was killed in action in France. Left to mourn are his mother and Fat Soquel. The bereaved mother and sister were recent newcomers to Soquel. This young man never lived in this county.”\r\n \r\nJames A. Brown entered the US army in San Francisco, California, and apparently used his mother's address in Soquel. He probably received his basic training at Camp Lewis, Washington, and was assigned to the 363rd Regiment of the 91st Infantry Division. In the summer of 1918 his division was shipped to France and moved into the Meuse-Argonne region in the vicinity of Metz. \r\nIn September, James and the 91st Division were engaged in intense combat during the Allied offensive against the entrenched Germans. On October 1, 1918, the day of his death, his unit history recorded that, \r\n“Many men were suffering from diarrhea due to exposure for five days without warm overcoats and blankets. Most officers and men had raincoats and some had found German blankets in dugouts. The men built shelter from small arms fire by excavating the northern edges of shell holes. But they were observed by hostile planes and subjected to heavy fire (shrapnel and shell) from German artillery in the Argonne and northeast of Gesnes. Although many casualties resulted the morale was undisturbed.”\r\n \r\nOn October 1, 1918, Private James A. Brown died from wounds he had received earlier. His remains were buried in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne, France. Although he had never lived in the county, local World War I veterans included his name on the Victory Byway Memorial in 1928. \r\n\r\n(CAG; ABMC; SCSn November 2, 1918, 5:3, WRP December 28,1918 5:7; 91st Div Publication Com., Story of the 91st Division, San Mateo CA 1919, page 37-38, books.google.com/ books?id=3tIMAAAAYAAJ, [16 Sept 2008]) \r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Brostrom was born September 14, 1893, to Andrew and Gertrude Brostrom in the small Santa Cruz Mountain community of Eccles, located north of Felton on Zayante Creek. Walter, along with three brothers, Emil, Herman and Frederick and a sister, Annie, spent his formative years in Santa Cruz County attending local schools. Sometime prior to 1917, Brostrom left the area and moved to southern California where he found employment. In the spring of 1917 he relocated to Lake Tahoe where he worked as a hotel bellman before returning to Santa Cruz. \r\n\r\nOn May 28, 1917, Brostrom registered for the draft and was described as being of medium height and stature, with red hair and brown eyes. When his application for an exemption due to poor health was denied, Walter volunteered to be inducted in the first call. He was subsequently drafted in October and probably received his basic training at Camp Lewis, Washington. Upon completion of his infantry instruction he was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division, 58th Infantry Regiment and promoted to corporal. \r\n\r\nDuring the spring of 1918, Walter was shipped to France. In early October his unit was fighting its way through the many forests surrounding the city of Brieulles and had gained a foothold in the area of Bois de Fays. Government records indicate that Brostrom died on October 7, 1918, in the Meuse-Argonne area of France. The cause of his death has not been found and may have resulted from other than combat causes. Walter Brostrom was buried in the Meuse- Argonne American Cemetery at Romagne, France. \r\n\r\n(CAG; 1900 US Census, CA, San Lorenzo; WIKI; 4th Infantry Division; SCSn December 6, 1918 2:3, WEP December 09, 1918 3:8; WWIDR; ABMC)\r\n"]]]]]],["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
