Spring Creek Home Front Newsletter June 1943 to December 1945

by Don Rickerson

The Spring Creek Home Front was published between June 1943 and December 1945 as a monthly newsletter mailed to the servicemen from the Spring Creek, PA area. Mrs. Lois Sickler, of the Home Front Editorial staff, saved the unmailed newsletters that were used for this book. Each chapter represents an issue of the monthly newsletter. Each chapter begins with the "War News" of that month to see what people read in the news. Each newsletter contains "News of the Servicemen," which was the news provided by the servicemen or their families. Then the column of "Local News," about the people in Spring Creek, we have a period of two half-year look at the town's people and events detail. I have also created a name index that will significantly aid anyone looking up family names with more than a thousand instances of people's names. It has been 76 years since the last issue of the newsletter was published. The people in the newsletters have mostly passed. The newsletters get browner by the day, and even the WW2 memorial in Spring Creek is gone now. It is time to print them again to be enjoyed by another generation of readers and honor the service members from Spring Creek.
