The Bayfield Progress “January 15, 1918: Harry LaPointe and Raymond Close went over to Duluth Thursday to seek enlistment in that bunch of fellows "who always get first to the scene of fighting", -- United States Marine Corps. Both lads cut by the examination nicely and were accepted for service. They returned here Friday to say their goodbyes. On Monday a departure for their first drilling station, -- Parris Island, South Carolina. Goodbye, boys; and best o’ luck. The voluntary enlistment of Harry LaPointe gives to his mother, Mrs. Louise LaPointe, special distinction in this community, -- the mother of three boys who are volunteers in the military service of their country. William LaPointe is in the Navy serving on board the battleship USS Florida, and Eli LaPointe who went off from here with Bayfield Counties Company D of the 6th Wisconsin Regiment and is now with Truck Company # 4 Supply Train, in Camp MacArthur, Waco Texas. It is certain that Mrs. LaPointe hasn't been overjoyed to see her boys leave; but it cannot be doubted that her heart is filled with pride because of their ready response to their countries call. May they all return to her safely and claiming when America's victory has been won.”
