PREFACE.
The importance of local history cannot be overestimated. Many of the most noted men of the country have given the best part of their lives to the preservation of the many incidents that form a part of the early settlement of the county in which they live. Hon. E. B. Washburn, Ex-Minister to France, devotes much time to this work; Hon. John Wentworth, of Chicago, has done more to preserve the early records of that city than any other person, and spares neither time or money to secure every little. incident that serves to render interesting the history of that remarkable place. Ilon. Lyman C. Draper, Corresponding Secretary, and Hon. Daniel S. Durkee, Libra- rian of the Historical Society of Wisconsin, do everything in their power to encourage the compliation and preservation of local history. In the vast library of the Historical Society of Wisconsin, no works are more referred to than the local histories of the various counties of the States of the Union.
Believing that Tama county afforded material for a good history, the Union Pub- lishing Company, of Springfield, Illinois, sent a corps of experienced historians into the field with instructions to spare no pains in compiling a complete and reliable work. As preliminary to the work, and in order to insure correctness and a work in which every citizen of the county might feel a just pride, the co-operation of the Old Settlers' Society was secured. That society appointed a committee to read and revise the general history of the county, and a like committee in cach township to examine and correct the history of their respective townships. With but one or two exceptions, every man thus appointed served to the best of his ability, and the wisdom of the
6
PREFACE
choice of the committees is shown in the work performed. We feel confident that we here present to our patrons a history that is as correct as possible for human beings to make it. That errors will be discovered, we have no doubt. Man is a fallible being, but every statement herein published is honestly believed in by the parties furnishing the information, and by the members of the committee examining it. All desire the truth, and nothing but the truth. They gave much time to the work and deserve the thanks of the citizens of the county for the faithful manner in which they discharged the trust reposed in them. Our thanks they certainly have The thanks of the pub- lishers are also tendered to all who have assisted in the compilation of this work. We cannot name them all, for their name is legion, but we must not forget to men- tion Hons. G. R. Struble, Leander Clark, L. G. Kinne, J. C. Vermilya, J. 11. Ilollen, Thomas Murray, D. D. Appelgate and J. B. Iledge. The historians of the company also deserve to be remembered-George A. Ogle, J. B. Ogle, J. J. Rising, C. I. Shaler, G. W. Davy, C. W. Demmon, E. F. Graves, W. M. Shumaker, HI. O. Brown and F. H. Schlutsmeyer. They tried to do their work well and to please our patrons.
In conclusion, we would say that our work is done; the History of Tama County is placed in your hands. We hope you will be pleased with it.
