Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fayette County in the World War The writing of a history of Fayette County´s part in the Great World War was first instigated by the War Records Section of the Illinois State Historical Library. In correspondence with Ira D. Lakin, editor of the Van-dalia Union, it was urged that the war records of Fayette County be preserved in some permanent form and that a committee should take the work in charge. The committee as finally selected and approved by the State office was composed of the following: Judge William M. Farmer, chairman, Ira D. Lakin, F. E. Crawford, C. F. Easterday, N. C. Gochenour, Dr. A. L. T. Williams, G. L. Hausmann and Will P. Welker. At a meeting of the committee Jan. 21, 1921, it was definitely decided that the history would be published in book form and the writer was asked to undertake the task of compiling and writing it. The work was undertaken, although somewhat reluctantly, and has been pushed as rapidly as other pressing duties would permit. The task has been a peculiarly difficult one; progress has been slow, owing alike to the limited amount of time at the writer´s disposal and the many difficulties encountered in gathering authentic data. No time nor pains have been spared to make the work accurate In every detail. It has entailed a voluminous correspondence and endless searching of newspaper files and records of various organizations and war agencies. Owing to the fact that state and federal departments have, as yet, nothing to make records by counties available, it was necessary to gather all material within the county and to build the structure of this record from the ground up.
