| Joseph P. Chaisson was the first hometown soldier to be killed in action during World War I.
February 24, 1918 serving with Company F, 103rd, 26 Division, during combat actions in France Joseph paid the ultimate price. we continue to honor his service and sacrifice. The American Legion Post 41 was named in his honor and his picture is proudly displayed upon the Post walls. Every Memorial Day a special flower bouquet is placed upon his grave site in the Milo Cemetery.
Now when you pass the American Legion Post on lower West Main Street and see the newly restored sign proudly displaying Joseph P. Chaisson, you will know some of the history behind the name. | |
