Ededzcaiian To the memory of James Whz'tcomb Riley, the beloved Hoosier Poet, who was once a familiar figure on our Main Street, who knew an early day Kokomo as we know the present one, who as a young man knew and loved many of our citizens back in the seventies and eighties, who found inspiration for his verses in the townsmen, in local events, and in our picturesque Deer Creek, and whose early poems written in obscurity and for the most part under a nom de plume, found recognition in our local newspapers, we respectfully dedicate this volume.
