We’ve recently scanned a scrap book of men and women from Alleghany County who served in World War II. The book belonged to Ima Smith of Cherry Lane and features news clippings about approximately 150 people.

The images are a little rough, at 80 years old, but the text is readable and the information is priceless. Clippings came from the Alleghany News and other local newspapers.

The Alleghany News has been a good partner and supporter of the Historical Museum since it began. The scrapbook was donated to the Museum by Ima Smith.
