Photo, information on war dead sought

The Crittenden Press and Crittenden County HIstorical Society are looking for photos of men from the county killed during 20th century wars. With the help of the community over the years, photos and information have been gathered for display of nearly all of the men who gave their lives. But a few still remain.

Many of the surnames of these men are familiar to residents who still live in the area. Please help preserve the memory and commemorate the sacrifice of the following men if you have any information or photos you would be willing to share with the newspaper and historical society:
