Book excerpt: Excerpt from Snyder County Annals, Vol. 2: A Collection of Sketches and Portraits of Soldiers, Sailors, Nurses, and Civilians Engaged in the World War Together With Other Historical Data Gathered at Random The undersigned presents to the public herewith, "Snyder County Annals, Vol. II." May 1, 1919 we issued the first volume of this series not expecting to issue the second volume so soon. The return of the valiant boys from the front and we, feeling the need for some one to record the military records of Snyder Countians in the great war, began collecting the sketches and photographs of the soldiers and sailors and nurses, and, after publishing them in the POST, we began printing the pages of this book. The publication of a book in connection with a busy newspaper office entails considerable work, and what has made this book more difficult was the fact that many delayed sending in their records and so delayed the completion of the book. Even now it is necessary to close the volume with meager sketches in some cases. Where we were supplied with reliable first hand information promptly our work was made all the more pleasant and we know that in those cases, it is all the more satisfactory to the soldier and to all of his friends. As must be expected there will be some imperfections due to the meager reports received from the families of the soldiers, but we have done the best it was possible to do with the information at hand. No one not intimately connected with the compilation of a book such as this will ever know the difficulties encountered, only a few of which are named on pages 267-8-9, but we felt the soldiers were entitled to some permanent record as a Memorial, and we submit this volume as our mite in the recognition due to Snyder County's valiant sons and daughters.
