These names are compiled from the service records of the men who enlisted in the 10th Separate Company, Company C, 10th Wisconsin State Guard. The records were found in the papers of Captain Fred R. Becker and are at the Marathon County Historical Society. I asked the current National Guard of Wisconsin about the possibility of more records on these men being somewhere else, and they said perhaps they would be at the State Historical Library. However, in my opinion, because these were the actual service records, and in some cases, the actual enlistment certificates, I think that these are the only records.
If anyone finds any incorrect information, or if this page helps you in any way, please let me know!
(M. C. stands for Marathon County.) The names with an * were found on enlistment papers only - there was no service record for them.
=============================================================================
I have gotten more information about the State Guards from Tom Bruss, [email protected].
"When the State Guard was first being organized during WWI, the companies in the various communities were not organized into regiments. Initially these units were organized as Separate Companies. Later, after many companies were organized, they were grouped into regiments. When that happened, their names were changed from 10th Separate Co. (etc) to Co. C., 10th Wisconsin Regiment (for example.)"
Tom got the above information from local newspapers at the public library.
Thanks, Tom.
