One by one the heads of our old men are being laid under the sod. Within the past year at least twenty of our oldest citizens have passed away. Soon the last link of the once long chain of the first settlers of our county will be no more. Will the history of these old fathers stimulate the rising generation to emulate their example and follow in the footprints of their good deeds?
