AGENCY: Sevier County (Utah). County Recorder
SERIES: 84235
TITLE: Military discharges
DATES: 1942-1970.
ARRANGEMENT:
DESCRIPTION: Utah code states that upon presentation, the county recorder shall record honorable discharges from the military, naval, or marine service of the United States, and any orders, citations, and decorations of honor relating to a person while in the military service of the United States. (Utah Code, 17-21-14, 2000). Military discharges contain a wide range of personal, as well as military service and discharge information. Most veterans had their discharges recorded soon after discharge. However, since a veteran could bring his discharge for recording at any time, years might have elapsed between the time of discharge and recording. This is particularly true for World War I veterans whose discharges are scattered throughout this series.
