From the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, for those who submitted Grondal's photographs, Mrs. Eddy states:
"Deep appreciation is expressed to those in the Lindsborg community who answered my invitation to submit their Gröndal photographs. The following families gave generously from their large collections: Hilding and Esther Marie Jaderborg, Royer and Althea Barclay, Linn and Mary Peterson, and Lee and Susie Ruggels. Glass negatives used were from Jim Turner and Tom Jaderborg. The greatest considerations in selecting from the hundreds of photographs were their artistic merit and the capture of a moment in time."
