One Township's Yesterdays Gratitude  

A WORD OF GRATITUDE To those who so willingly and obligingly gave information and assistance in compiling this little historical review of Union Township, the writer expresses his thanks and appreciation. This list of "helpers" is far from complete, and whatever omissions there may be, are not.

Credit should go where credit is due. Throughout the work, the writer has tried to give full and accurate acknowledgment, quoting and naming the sources wherever possible. So, to those persons whose names may not appear, but who contributed their bit, a word also of gratitude now goes out at the close. No attempt has been made to arrange the names in any order as to the value of the service given; they appear simply as they came to mind, as follows:
