Monroe Wulff

Biography

Monroe Wulff was from Benton Harbor, Michigan, a member of the Israelite House of David religious community. Monroe Wulff was a conscientious objector imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth and released on January 27, 1919.

The compilation reports a one-year hard-labor sentence after proceedings beginning May 31, 1918, and quotes the July 1 legal opinion approving his conviction. Neither the opinion date nor the military-exemption certificate establishes a new jail endpoint.

Anne M. Yoder, World War I Conscientious Objector Database, retained CSV row 2286.
