Joe Levine was the first to respond, offering these references:

State, County, City and Organization Medals for World War I. Second Revised Edition by Richard L. Planck, 1991. Planchet Press Publication 48A. 124pp.
Revised Comprehensive List of World War I Service Medals Issued By States, Counties, Cities & Towns by Louis W. Small, 1990, 84pp

Larry Dziubek contacted token and medal dealer Steve Tanenbaum. Steve was aware of the Small book and two others - a 3rd edition of Planck and a book by Dougles Bryce which covers state medals of all wars.

State, County, City and Organization Medals for World War I by Richard L. Planck, 3rd Ed. 1995
State Medals for War Service by Douglas W. Boyce, 1988

Harry Waterson submitted the Small reference as well. He

I believe a copy is available at the ANA Library.

Many thanks to all who responded! -Editor
