While we feel that every Soldier, Sailor and Civilian, of Accomac County, is deserving of praise for the part they took and the efforts they put forth to aid their country in its time of need, yet there are always some special deeds or examples of sacrifice that stand out in bold relief against the horizon of every community's efforts along any particular line. For this reason we feel that the records of Rev. Frank A. Ridout and Miss Sarah Waples Crosley are deserving of special mention in our "History of Accomac County in the War."
