From the front of the book:
ACKNOWLEDGMENT A thank you to the people who contribute their family history. They realize the importance of preserving a different facet of our history - the family life.
A 'tip of the hat' to the Osceola Lions for their work in collecting cemetery records, and to some of the cemetery boards.
Typists: Mrs. Linda Anderson, Mrs. Jane Roberts, Mrs. Ruth Lux, Mrs. Lana Flodman, and Mrs. Jackie Johansen.
A thanks to Roxanne and Evelyn Gissler for their "jack-of-all-trades" role; recording names and dates from headstones in the cemeteries under adverse conditions (and drippy noses from walking in cold and windy weather last winter), sorting and alphabetizing names, typing, and proof reading.
Thanks to all, until you are better paid!
