Hi Margaret. Thank you so much for the look-up. I was sure Clarence would be in the book. I can't connect to a Fred Daniels. At least not yet. Do I owe you anything? Just let me know.

I did some more look ups. The only DANIELS listed is Fred W. Daniels. His name is listed under Griggsville in the "Additional Services List" section. These names are those from whom the editor received no picture or service records, due to a number of reasons, the chief one being removal from the county since returning from service.

Hi Margaret. This is very nice of you to look these folks up. Thanks you for me. I wonder if you have a Daniels in your book. There were so many of my Daniels but I think Clarence might be the right.
