Though the idea began as a primary research project in Wrens High's 
Grammar and Composition II Class, the final product is hardly our own.

As cemeteries were transcribed, a format for the publication was 
designed. Then Rhonda Howard, Carolyn Hadden, and VOT students typed 
rough drafts, journalism students edited, and students in grades seven 
through twelve alphabetized with parents assisting in each activity.

At this point community concern and civic pride increased the quality 
of the work. A state highway employee provided maps, which were later 
printed by Clipper Publishers. Thiele Kaolin Typists produced camera-
ready content of the cemeteries while typists at First State Bank, 
Georgia Power, and interested adults using a typewriter from Huber 
typed the preface and alphabetized names. The Atwell's Pecan Products 
typists then provided a camera-ready index with page and cemetery numbers.

From the school administration's approval to a registry ready for press, 
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Stephens boosted our confidence, checked out printing 
possibilities, and publicized our project.

This community assistance has illustrated to us one fringe benefit of 
the activity -- one's own worth can be increased simply by doing 
something for the privilege of doing it.

For this knowledge and for your services, we are indebted.
