There's joy at 135 West Lorain Street in Oberlin today. There's less joy in the Philippines, because the news hasn't gotten there yet.

1.
This is one of a series of newspaper and magazine items over the years about Will's work for the Army.
You can find the whole list here:
2.
Capt. Charles Keller, Capt. Spencer Cosby, First Lieutenant E. M. Adams, First Lieutenant H. L. Wigore, First Lieutenant William P. Stokey, First Lieutenant John H. Poole, First Lieutenant Henry C. Jewett.
You can compare this to the list of officers sent out to the Philippines two years earlier: The two companies are detailed for two years' service and are in command of Major C. McD. Townsend. The other commissioned officers are Captain Kellogg and Captain Cosby, and Lieutenants Adams, Stokey, Poole, and Jewett.

This item was in several newspapers in newspapers.com. I chose this particular one because it gave the ranks of the officers in question, which not all of them did. The Stokeys must have seen the notice somewhere (I think they would have been desperately looking for it) because Alma wrote to Will in May: We had learned several weeks before we got your last letter that you would not sail until July 15th.
