WWII Draft Registration

"Brothers in arms" is more than a dictum to Edward P. Finger and George E. Finger. Both are police captains now, following a confirmation of Mayor Thomas A. Gustafson's nomination by the City Council. George Finger, the younger brother, has been the city's only police captain for 15 years, and now his brother Edward has been appointed to serve as the second police captain. A recent charter amendment authorized the second captain for the force. - Jamestown Post-Journal March 13, 1947

Olean - (UP) - Police keep their 'fingers' on the city's crime here 24 hours a day. Police Capt George E. Finger, a member of the force for 23 years, works the day trick while his brother, Capt Edward P. Finger, a 21-year veteran, works the night desk. - The Knickerbocker News May 1, 1947
