Nellie Inbody Tagg & Sons

Lowell Tagg, Harold Tagg, Mrs. Nellie Tagg

Mrs. Nellie A. Tagg, all of whose men folk either are or have been fighters in Uncle Sam's military service, has pledged her services to her country in the present war.  She was one of the first to sign up with the National League for Woman's Service to do her bit.

Mrs. Tagg's two sons are enlisted, the one in the navy and the other in the army.  Harold E. Tagg reported last Monday at the navy station in Philadelphia and has his assignment as signalmen.  Lowell A. Tagg is with the coast artillery, Company 126, Fort Warden, Washington.

Her late husband, Harry E. Tagg, was lieutenant with the former Nebraska cavalry troop, Company A.  Her brother Rutherford Inbody of Ord, Neb., served with the First Nebraska, Company A, in Philippines during the Spanish-American war.  Her father, Lewis Inbody of Waco, Neb., is a civil war veteran.
