"In May, 1898, the United States was concerned about the trouble existing with Spain over the possession of Cuba and the Philippines. Feeling ran high in El Dorado, where Company H was formed and almost 100 young men enlisted to participate in the Spanish-American War. The Walnut Valley Times of May 4, 1898, said:
'Every member of Company H will offer his services to the government and enlist, if he can, tomorrow. Two coaches have been set off on the Santa Fe tracks to carry our volunteers to Topeka.” James Greer and William Glaze, former pupils of C. L. Aikman, came from Osawatomie to enlist. Sergeant Charles Alger, of Douglass, a brother of Mrs. Charles W. Thomas, was eager to respond and as trains were not running when he wished to start for El Dorado, he walked the twenty-four miles in nine hours. The G. A. R. marched in a body to the enlisting hall, after this invitation in The Times: 'Watch the boys brace up as they did thirty-five years ago.' Major Armstrong, General Allen and E. N. Smith made speeches.
This is a roster of Butler County men who enlisted in the United States service against Spain “for three years or during the war.”
