Wharfmaster Posted September 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2014 Just for fun, show us your "smallest town" next of kin dog tags. Here is one from the tiny village of Nenana, Alaska. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDUNE Posted September 15, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2014 Perry D. Mullens from Bramwell West Virginia. Population of 368 (as of 2012) and covers 358 acres. I found these on a dealers website and bought them immediately because my grandfather was from Bramwell, and I've been there several times myself. It is interesting to wonder if my grandfather knew Perry Mullens. I can't imagine that he didn't, in such a small town, they may have even been friends.

USdog Posted September 15, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2014 Great topic! Nice tag to a small town guy. I looked up the town and is about a 350 population. Jeez! You beat me but hear are my smallest.... Ironically both of their units are know. One being a 503rd PIR vet from WV and the other a FSSF vet from MI. Michael Fesnick was from Bessemer MI. A total of about currently 1,900. Cecil Wilmoth was from Nutter Fort, WV. A town of almost 1,600 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USdog Posted September 15, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2014 You guys have some really small town guys! I think I found a better one than my previous.

notinfringed Posted January 9, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2015 Just for fun, show us your "smallest town" next of kin dog tags. Here is one from the tiny village of Nenana, Alaska. W I don't mean to throw this great topic off track but I must say I love these tags. Nenana is about 60 miles South of Fairbanks on the Parks Highway. Here is a picture of the Railroad Station in approximately 1943 with the towns folks out to meet the train, and a picture of the station as it looked about a month ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted January 10, 2015 Share #12 Posted January 10, 2015 Here is my contribution. According to the census, Cromwell had less than 400 residents in 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History Posted January 24, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 24, 2015 I think I found a better one than my previous. This is listed as a camp ground (is that right?!?). Population? No idea. Don't think many. Perhaps at that time it was a small town or maybe just the post office would know to send mail and what not to the campground? Looks like a nice RV park today. Seems it is part of the town of Brandon, MS now. Or at least directly adjacent. Brandon was the birthplace of General Louis H Wilson Jr, a MoH winner for the battle of Guam and a future Commandant of the USMC. Nice one though!

bellasilva Posted May 3, 2016 Share #14 Posted May 3, 2016 Couldn't resist picking this one up on ebay, it's got a ton of character and fits this thread well. In 1940, Alba, Missouri had a population of 318. This one doesn't even have a rural road name, just the town name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Howdy Posted October 22, 2021 Share #23 Posted October 22, 2021 Here's one from a local Jersey Shore town. About +/- 3000 population during WW 2. I know the house is now a home for missionaries but I know nothing about his service. I'm guessing he was an officer from the "0" prefix but that's it.
