Special thanks to Roberta Wolfe for submitting this document and to Josephine Reed Garzelloni and Carole Lynn Mohney Carr for their transcription and proofing efforts.
A note from Josie: There have been two corrections to this file done by me in editing. Both of them were the elimination of exact duplications of two names. Nothing else has been changed and any seemingly obvious errors in spelling of some of the names have been left as they were printed by the Sturgis Journal.
