as printed in the
Courier Tribune
July 1, 1920
"There follows a list of county service men and women intended for the bronze plates to be inserted in the Nemaha county memorial to be erected on the Court House lawn at Seneca. The Courier-Tribune has been delegated to secure this list. We do not say this list is correct. On the other hand we say it is incorrect. It is impossible to secure a list of over 700 persons without inaccuracies in spelling and without ommisions and even duplications. We print this list in order that readers may detect these mistakes and promptly notify the Courier-Tribune so that corrections can be made. Probably every person who reads this list will be able to detect some mistake. We could get the official draft board list at the Court House but even that official list would have mistakes in spelling and initials. We shall take a copy of the list from each town and send it to the various papers in addition to our own. These papers will print the list asking for corrections. The list will then be re-corrected. If mistakes then occur the persons concerned will have only themselves to blame. If any service man sees his name incorrectly spelled or ommitted he should notify us at once -- not after the plates have been finished."
