PREFACE.
The importance of preserving in concise form the traditions of the past has never been questioned, nor the usefulness of local history been disputed. Be- lieving that the counties of Jersey and Greene afforded most excellent mater- ial for a good county history, the Continental Historical Company placed in the field a full corps of experienced historians, prepared to spare no time or money in compiling a complete and reliable work. The manuscript of this history has been submitted to the committees chosen by your citizens for the purpose, who, after a critital examination of them, have approved of our work. We feel con- fident that we here present our patrons with a work that is as correct as it is possi- ble for humanity to make. That errors have crept in, and may be found, we do not doubt. Man is, at the best, but a fallible creature, but every statement herein published, is honestly believed in by the parties furnishing the information, by the historians, and by the committees of revision. All desire the truth, and noth- ing but the truth. They gave much time and labor to the work, and deserve the thanks of the citizens of th county for the faithful discharge of the trust reposed in them. Our thanks are due to the numerous friends who have so kindly assisted us in gathering up items and assisting in the compilation of this volume. We cannot name them all, for their name is legion, but we must not forget to mention Hon. George E. Warren, Hon. W. H. Allen, Hon. J. N. English, Morris R. Locke J. E. Cooper, J. I. MeGready and James and Will Eads, A. W. Cross, John A. Shephard, J. E. Starr, of Jersey county, and Hon. R. H. Davis, H. C. Withers, C. Armstrong, M. D., J. R. Keach, B. Gillingham, E. Woolley, John Jones, Geo. Coonrod, Ed. Miner and Anthony Connole, of Greene county, and the other county officials, members of the press, and others.
Nor must we forget to remember and thank the historians of the company who have labored so hard and faithfully for the good of all-James S. Walters, general historian; Maurice E. Power and Charles W. Moseley, assistant historians; W. M. Shumaker, T. B. Poole, G. W. Poole, J. W. Bailey, Charles H. Shaler, George A. Franklin, Karr McClintock, and Joseph HI. Power, local historians; H. T. Loper, of the portrait department; Mrs. W. B. Wetherbee and Miss Mary Power, editors of the biographical department. All have tried to do their duty well, and please the company and our patrons.
In conclusion, we would say that our work is done; the History of Greene and Jersey Counties is before you. We cheerfully hope it will please you.
Yours Very Truly, THE CONTINENTAL HISTORICAL COMPANY.
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER, 1885.
