2006
The original hope was to compile a list of all
Clarke County veterans of all wars. Recent
privacy laws made the official records
inaccessible. Those who have helped make this
book possible and I have done our best but we
know the list is not complete. Additional names
and particularly stories are welcome. Perhaps
there can be a supplement. You may contact the
following persons, or Fern Underwood in
any of the above ways. Thank you!
