SERVICE RECORD Of NATION
City, County and State Histories Will
Afford voIuminous and valu-
able Data.

If the present progress In making
county and city and state war his
tories is maintained, there will be a
vast library Of local "who-was-vho
in the war; books by the year 2O2O.
Not only are towns, counties and
states preparing their own war his
tories. but colleges and schools of all
kinds also are getting up collective
service records. Large industrial con-
Germs are doing the same thing.
Best results in history making seem
to have been achieved i'm counties,
where the records of the county draft
board served as starting point and
where all other sources of information
have been utilized. Livingston county,
Illinois, furnishes a typical example
of a county which has been painstak-
ing in its effort to compile reliable
war history.
A committee of seven was appointed
in this county to have charge of the
soldiers and sailors record. Before
the records of the local exemption
board were closed, list was compiled
of all registrants of the county who
had entered the service by enlistment
or induction, the date of entry into
the service and the camp to which
they were first sent. Newspaper files
were combed to obtain as many addi-
tiOnal names as possible. The list
was then published in the newspaper
with the request that all names not
included be reported to the war rec
crds committee
QUESTIONABLE then was mailed to
each service man or woman, Follow
up letters were used to insure the re-
turn of the questionnaires. The Ques-
tionnaires had spaces for practically
all the information which appears on
the soldiers discharge certificate and
for many other details, such as cita-
tons in full and special honors. A
special section will be devoted to the
records of those who died in service.
Their photographs will be included.
