PREFATORY.


In presenting the HISTORY OF MCHENRY COUNTY to its patrons, the publishers are confident that it will meet with a hearty recep- tion. No trouble nor expense has been spared to make it a com- plete and reliable history, and any errors or inaccuracies it may contain are due to the inability of the compilers to obtain the necessary information. We do not claim perfection for our book, for mistakes are common to the human family, and, although we have tried to be very vigilant, we do not doubt but the merciless critic may find something to fill his hungry soul with delight. Thanks are due to the members of the press for their kind loan of newspaper files, to public societies and churches for data furnished and to the citizens for their ready co-operation and interest taken in our work. It has been our aim to give at least the name, if not more extended notice, of every "old pioneer," and if any are omit- ted it is owing to the sliglit importance placed on the preservation of records in the early days of the county's history, and failure on the part of those having the knowledge to impart it to the compiler.


In the spelling of proper names, we have found in this as in other counties, that members of a family disagree, and where such is the case who shall decide ? In the personal sketches we have, of course, followed the subject's "copy," but in the general history have tried to give the preference to the majority. Also, members of the same family oftentimes differ in regard to dates of settlement of the family in the county, births and deaths of the members of the family, and it will readily be seen that the historian and pub- · lishers are unable to determine which is correct, this or that.


The desire to meet a long-felt want on the part of many citizens for a history of the Prairie State induced us to add that feature to


O


PREFATORY.


our prospectus, and accordingly we have met our obligation and have covered the ground in a condensed form, from the earliest settlement of the Territory of Illinois to the present day.


Our book is not one to be read to-day and then laid on the shelf, but one that will grow in interest and importance as the years go by, each succeeding year making it more valuable; and, as other sources of information diminish, it will stand, a monument to tell to coming generations the noble part their forefathers took in the settlement of the grand old State of Illinois, and the populous and wealthy county of McHenry.
