Excerpt from History of Decatur County's Part: In the World War, 1914-1918 The object of this book is the collection and presentation of accounts of the work of the citizens of Decatur County to help win the Great World War. Early in June, 1918, the State Council of Defense issued a bulletin instructing the councils to select a committee to collect letters, pictures, records, etc., appertaining to the county's war activities, these to be sent to the State library. The County Council of Defense selected Mrs. George Deiwert and Arthur Donnell for this work. Later the order came to make scrap books of newspaper clippings, letters, pictures, etc., present one to the State library and the duplicate was to be preserved in Decatur county. Before much headway had been made along this line the order was changed to each county to have a War History of its own, at this time Mr. Donnell withdrew from the committee. The work of collecting reports of the various war activities has been long and strenuous, but with the hearty support of the splendid people who were in charge of the many activities the work was finally accomplished. Accounts of the work of every organized body in the county, and of every committee appointed for any war work, however insignificant, were asked for. If, upon scanning the pages of this book, any omissions are found, they are due to failure to receive reports. As county war historian, I hereby wish to thank the County Council of Defense for the honor bestowed upon me, and for their confidence in me, when they made the appointment. I also wish to thank all who assisted in any way the compiling of this record. Without their assistance nothing could have been accomplished.
