The April 1918 issue of the Fram featured the names of seventy-six individuals who had either
attended or graduated from Sandusky High School, and were serving in military
service during World War I. The names were arranged alphabetically by
surname, with the year of graduation listed after the name.
Opposite the “Honor Roll” listing of names was a
page with pictures of several military men from Sandusky. Sergeant-Major
William Murray was serving with the Aviation Corps of the U.S. Army. Paul J. Appell was an instructor at Cape May,
New Jersey with the U.S. Navy. Sergeant Wesley Moos was with the U.S. Army’s
Quartermaster’s Corps. Ray Siggens, Harold Weis, and Surgeon Henry LaFavre were
all serving in the United States Navy. La Favre, whose picture is in the
center of the page, served as a U.S. Navy surgeon in both World War I and
World War II. Eventually he retired to Virginia Beach. After his death on
February 15, 1953, Captain La Favre was buried at Arlington National
Cemetery.
