PREFACE.


In offering the History of Henry County to our 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 complete 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, al- though 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 the 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 omitted it is owing to the slight importance placed on the preservation of records in the early days of the county's history.


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 publishers are unable to determine which is correct, this or that.


The desire to meet a long-felt want on the part of many


PREFACE.


citizens for a State history induced us to add that feature to our prospectus, and accordingly we have met our obligation and havei covered the ground in a condensed form, from the earliest settlement of the Territory of Indiana by the white man to the present day.


Our book is not a book 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 valua- ble; 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 Indiana and the populous and wealthy county of Henry.
