American Legion Auxiliary Quilt - Names

Today, Mary Bywater Cross and I teamed up to transcribe the names appearing on the American Legion Auxiliary quilt from Post No. 9 in Salem, Oregon, 1931. It took us a little less than two hours. Mary read the names, and I typed them in to the computer.

If you're from Salem or know anyone from Salem who may know any of the families whose names appear on the quilt, please post a reply. Here's the list:
