					 Bill 
					Donath and the Logan County Genealogical and Historical 
					Society are really excited. Only a day or two into posting 
					their request for help in identifying 12 World War I 
					soldiers in Lincoln Daily News, they have been able to 
					identify the first soldier. It turns out that soldier number 
					one is Wilbur Smith of Beason. He was identified by Phil 
					Bertoni. The album of unidentified soldiers is still in LDN 
					on the Community page.
