Biography:
Sgt. Orin Goodrich originated from Nelson, Nebraska, and served in the 89th Division of the
355th Infantry during World War I. He trained at Camp Funston, Kansas, from September 7, 1917
until he was deployed to France in June 1918. He served in France as a bugler with the
regimental band until May of 1919. On his return home, he became engaged and presumably married
his fiance, Mae.
Scope and Content:
The collection consists of letters to his parents in Nelson, Nebraska, throughout the duration
of his deployment (Sept. 1917 through May 1919), as well as letters from his brothers, Richard
and Harold, to their parents. A set of postcards includes notes on the back of each card that
provides additional description about the location on the front of the postcard, written by
Goodrich. Other postcards are those Goodrich may have purchased while in Europe, many of which
were placed in a photo album. The photographs in the collection include two photo albums
containing photographs from Nelson, Nebraska, along with some from the University of Nebraska.
The military service photo album and photographs includes images of Goodrich, his colleagues,
camps, and other images associated with his military service. The collection also contains his
uniform paraphernalia, including hats, bags, medals, and name plate.
