Question - WWI War Bond Presidential Citation

[patrick_usmc]

Hello all,

 

Attached is a photo of the obituary of a family member, who apparently received a citation from President Wilson for her work selling war bonds during WWI. Does anybody have any idea what this is referencing?

 

I've looked for newspaper articles from when she would have received the citation, but have found nothing there. I'm curious if anybody has heard of anything like this, or perhaps has a copy of one in their collection. I'd appreciate any and all information about it.

 

Thank you!

It is probably a certificate recognizing her volunteer work for the local War Savings Society or similar organization. Many of them would have been handed out at the end of the war so it is probable that there would me no contemporary mention. The writer of the obit may not have really understood what the certificate was.
