Had it not been for the hearty cooperation of the ministers, and officers of educational institutions and clubs. this book would never have been written.

 

And to these persons who have so kindly assisted us, we respectfully dedicate this work.

 

THE PUBLISHERS,

 

York, Nebraska, 1903.

 

 

 

 In issuing this Souvenir of the churches and educational institutions of York, Nebraska, we believe we are but doing a justice to ourselves as well as to our friends. In addition to giving the public a full and complete list and historical sketch of the various churches and educational institutions of the city, we have endeavored to make the illustrations a prominent feature of this work.

We wish to tender our sincere and earnest thanks to the merchants and professional men who by their assistance have made possible the publication of this valuable work, we heartily recommend them to the purchasing public generally for their reputation for square dealings, care having been taken that no other kind should occupy space in our book.
