Special credit is due <br /> Miss Anna Belle �leyer, who contributed many hours of secre- �. <br /> tarial service and Bil I.arrick, Decatur Public Lbrary staff ; <br /> artist,who did tlie cover desi�n. <br /> For the convenience of persons interested in seeing the � <br /> structures, the book lias been arran�ed in four sections with <br /> the buildings in each listed in a sequence that can be readily j <br /> followed in a walkin;or drivin� tour. ' <br /> In addition to forty-nine historic structure biographies, � <br /> there are pictures of Decatur's four statues of Abraham lincoln, � <br /> one at the beginning of eaclt of the four sections. Three of the ; <br /> four statues show Lincoln in poses characteristic of him at the � <br /> time he lived in or frequented our city and county. <br /> It is tl�e sincere hope of tliose involved in this project <br /> that it shouid be considered just a beginnin; and that other <br /> interested groups or individuals will continue the exploration <br /> of Decatur's past. Tliere are still many worthy structures to � <br /> be described and many fascinating stories to be told. � <br /> i <br /> r <br /> � <br /> it <br /> ,. � <br /> :# <br /> i� <br /> S <br /> Y <br /> '� <br /> �� <br /> I1 <br /> ._ <br /> � <br /> i <br /> J <br />
