Excerpt from History and Reminiscences, Vol. 3: From the Records of Old Settlers'' Union of Princeville and Vicinity; Material Comprised in Reports of Committee on History and Reminiscences for Years 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922
This book, a companion to Vol. I issued in 1912, and Vol. II issued in 1915, is a reproduction with a few corrections and additions of the various sketches as transmitted by the respective committees to the Union in years 1916 to 1922, inclusive, and the year of writing is indicated on each sketch. Articles on general subjects are given first, then family histories in alphabetical order, then lists of the World''s War service men from the different townships, and finally lists of the burials in Princeville''s two cemeteries. Lists of burials in other cemeteries within the terri tory of the O. S. U. P. V. Are suggested for the next Volume.
Special attention is called to the lists of service men by townships. The committee felt that these lists should be compiled and preserved While available.
Each of the Reminiscence Committees has realized that the families named in its sketches are but a few taken from among the many worthy the pen of a historian. The Publishing Committee therefore hopes that this volume will be an incentive to the writing of additional family sketches, and also of additional sketches on memorable events or subjects of a general nature, which may in due time be published in another volume similiar to this one.
