Franklin County Veterans Hall of Honor: The Non-War Conflicts 1898-1916 By Written and Researched by Terry O. Wilson The Missourian

During this period, there was substantial military activity in the Philippine Islands. Many of these veterans who served in the Spanish Philippine American War also went on to serve in World War I. During this time period more veterans were serving in the Navy.

Currently we can not locate a good source for naval records. Most of the names we have identified as serving in this time period were found in the "Centennial Biographical Directory of Franklin County Missouri" by H.G. Kiel published in 1925 and a few families have submitted information.
