Preface

On behalf of the Major Molly chapter D.A.R. of Hamilton Mo. it gives me great
pleasure to submit to the historian of the D.A.R. of the state of Missouri this
collection of interviews with old citizens, numbering 181.  This collection of 181
interviews while a time consuming project, has been a pleasant and instructive
procedure. When the Major Molly chapter in 1934 compiled a collection of 150
interviews for the 1934 conference, the main interviewer realized that the work was
far from completed.  This year, after spending another year on the same sort of work,
she again realizes that there is much to be done in gaining information from the old
folks before they leave us.  Further study may bring even richer results in knowledge
of local history. One of the best results yet seen is the interest which has been
aroused in our own local history.  People are eager to tell their family history as
it relates to the county.  By this means, we hope to do our part in arousing interest
in the coming celebration in 1936 of the hundredth anniversary of the organization of
Caldwell county.
