To the one person, who without his assistance in helping me secure the money to publish this book, it would have never been printed. Not only did he pave the roads for the finances but he added encouragement, positive thinking, and great faith in-my ability. I shall always be grateful to him for his important part in seeing to it that Decatur Countians have the privilege to be exposed to the past and present.
