There is a unique difference among historians. Some simply believe they are a historian from the knowledge they have obtained.
Some historians are hesitant to share their wealth of information.
But there are those who not only share and preserve history, but create it in the process. Lewis G. Decker was one such individual who did indeed accomplish both. As a historian, Lewis Decker's high standards led to the undertaking of major projects. These cemetery books are now easily accessible for any researcher. He was involved in countless local historical projects, such as the Bicentennial Committee project for Fulton County.
