Biography

Lea Danielewicz was a conscientious objector associated with Milwaukee and the Socialist Party. The Swarthmore/Yoder database records a February 14, 1919 interview at Leavenworth and a twenty-year sentence reduced to one and a half years. Its compiler questions the identification with a similarly named Fort Douglas internee. Exact arrest, admission and discharge dates remain unresolved.

1920s custody review: The Swarthmore/Yoder source labels 1917 as draft year, not prison admission; that unsupported custody start is removed. The February 14, 1919 interview confirms confinement but does not date first admission. The reduction was to one and a half years, not one. The compiler expressly questions whether the Fort Douglas roster surname Danielewich refers to this man rather than Max Danielewick. That uncertainty must not be converted into a photograph identification or firm transfer history. The inherited 1920 release remains unverified; no discharge date is given in the source.
