In November of 1924 a series of articles and cartoons entitled "Who's Who in Warsaw was run in the Warsaw Daily Times. This series brings out many interesting things about leading personalities around Warsaw and our county at that time. An artist by the name of McDougall drew pictures illustrating the life of these prominent citizens. Each cartoon was accompanied by a biographical sketch.

The first of the series appeared on November 7 and featured William D. Frazer. He was one of the founders of the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce and was president of the organization for eight years. During his term of office six factories came to Warsaw.

On the following day the life of Victor M. Hatfield was featured. At that time he was president of the Warsaw Kiwanis club. Cartoons of his life illustrate his activities in helping to develop Winona, and his poetry writing.

The life of Judge L. W. Royse was the subject of the Nov. 10 feature. McDougall's illustrations brought out the facts that Royse was president of the Rotary club, that he had started teaching at the age of 18, and that he had served two terms as a United States congressman from Indiana's 13th district.
