PREFACE.
ISTORY is the pith or substance of collected biographies or of the lives of men and women of a State. It is the drama of set- tlement and progress - a link of golden truths which binds us to the past. History is also the monument. built during our own lives, to be our instructor, and beyond this present time it looks into the future as a warning teacher. Local history is not only history as defined, but also history and biography - grasping the most minute details connected with the persons and events identified with the progress of a county. township or village. The past and present - the whole fabric of society - the home, school, church, literary and benevolent societies. governmental and military organizations. agriculture, commerce, manufactures and all these institutions which draw men's interests together, should be traced to their humble beginnings, and every name and date placed in such form as to be a treasure for all time; for Okl Father Time will one day call up such records. Local history. while embracing all such details of men and women and events, should not revel in records of vice and decay. Its teach- ings should be pure, and, to have them so, he who would lead the people of the present time to a higher nobility of character and purpose must not give the story of decay and vice. and shame and crime in detail.
The introduction to this work is peculiar in its practical character. It is not here to enlarge the volume or to comply with any known literary style: but to place honestly before the people a concise instruction in the whole history of the United States and of Illinois, while leading down to the period when the little commonwealth of Stark came into existence.
The general history of the county is embraced in the first fifteen chap- ters, each one exhausting its subject, without detracting from the details of township, village and family history, contained in the eight great chap- ters which follow. The plan of township history is simplified by making the personal sketches and reminiscences of the people of each division of the county. a part of the division chapter, arranging them alphabetically. This plan, however, will not place before the reader at once all the family history of a township ; because, owing to change of location. a pioneer of one division, may be an old settler of a second, and a modern resident of a third township, To provide a ready reference in this case, a list of the families treated in this volume is given and the contents table made very complete.
The material for the entire history of the county and of each township. village and hamlet, was collected, written and edited by M. A. Leeson. All this is based on official records. private documents, newspaper accounts, and. where quoted and credited, on the published historical works and reminiscences of local writers who acted justly by the past of their county.

PREFACE.
In this work the cemeteries were not forgotten. so that the monuments speak in this volume of names and dates which might otherwise pass un- noticed.
The biographical collection is the work of many men. Their notes were. in the greater number of instances, re-written by the general historian and mailed for correction or revision. In a few cases the gentlemen engaged in this department proved their notes at the time of writing and thus obviated the necessity of total revision.
While absolute perfection (if there is such a human attribute) is not at all claimed for this volume. we feel that the writer has given the people a plain. substantial, matter-of-fact work - the most thorough of its class ever offered. We believe that his desire to exceed all promises has been satisfied. and in sending the work on its mission of usefulness we do so with that pleasure which always accompanies a duty faithfully performed.
To the county officers of 1886 and their deputies, to whom the general historian is indebted for uniform courtesy and material aid in research. we offer expressions of gratitude : to the gentlemen of the press. our deep thanks for the unanimity of their endorsement; to the clerks or secretaries of the various educational, literary. religious, secret. benevolent, military and municipal bodies, our sincere acknowledgements, and to all the people - to whose cordial and intelligent cooperation the success of this work is due - we send a message of hope and belief that the history of their county will prove authentic and be acceptable.
