PREFACE.
S
IXTY EIGHT years have joined the ages before the flood since the first white settler pitched his camp within the borders of Randolph County. Hundreds and thousands of hardy pioneers followed the first bold adventurer into this waste and howling wilderness. Their vigorous strokes have felled the giant monsters of the woods and opened the virgin soil to to the genial sunshine. In hardship and peril, under privation and want, through scarcity and sickness, in labors con- stant and severe, they toiled their lives away. And now hardly a single soul of all that heroic band remains on earth among us! Possibly a scanty, scattered few yet survive. A small number more of those who came here as children still breathe the vital air-still linger amid the places of their youthful homes, to wonder whether these fields and farms and dwellings and towns are indeed the spots where, in the dense woods so long ago, their fathers and their mothers built the rude cabins, or even the " eamp" or the rail pen, to shelter their dear ones from the cold and the storm. They gaze bewildered on the gilded show, and marvel at the incredible change which time and toil, like mighty magicians, have wronght. Soon, full soon, the grave will close over the " very last" of these ancient pioneers; and their children, too, are old and way-worn, and, one by one they, also, are dropping from sight; and, erelong, pioneer life will be a thing forgotten, or known only in the recital of fireside tales, handed down from the days of long ago. And yet, of the history of these sixty-eight years no permanent memorial has ever been made. A few manuscripts, a scattering, ancient newspaper here and there, alone attest, in writing or in print, the perils and the toils of those pregnant, eventful years, those hardships, that endurance, that heroism, that wondrous activity and persever- ance, that endless labor, day and night, summer and winter, in sunshine and storm, and endless and fathomless mud, out of all which beyond the power of the present generation even to imagine, has grown this wondrous odifice of luxury and splendor, this grand and stately Commonwealth-the noble old mother of us all!
Sixty-eight years ago not one stick had been laid upon another. except by the miserable red men to build their wretched wigwams. The sun shone, the waters flowed in their channels, the forest finng its arms aloft, the bosom of mother earth lay warm and fertile beneath; the sand, the gravel, the lime-rock, all were stored away beneath the ground: every needed article which na- ture furnishes to her children was at hand; the sweet and barmy air, fragrant with the breath of flowers, waved with gentle motion the yielding foliage; then, as now, fell the fructifying rain from the clouds, and moistoned the surface of the ground; springs gushed from the earth, and sped dancing away over the pebbles, under the shadow of the forest. But wherefore? Ah, wherefore? That a few ignorant red men might chase a few deer or kill a turkey now and then; that they might eat the flesh and tan the hide of the one, and ornament their head with the tail feathers of the other? Is such a beggarly thing a sufficient result for so grand an array of appliances? Nay, verily, but that a race might come at length in the progress of the ages who could take possession and make the utmost out of these wondrous possibilities; a race who should have power and skill to fulfill the primal command " to multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it." And now the work is (at least measurably) done, the miracle of years is accom- plished, and from out those gloomy woods and trackless jungles and primeval pathless wastes, have sprung these waving fields, these homes of beauty, those palaces of splendor, which we do now behold! And shall not the history of the authors of this mighty change be written? Shall their memory perish from the earth ? So it would seem, for among the thousands skillful and gifted of the sons and daughters of these hardy sires, has never one been found to search ont the events of the past and write them for future generations. Verily, our soul cries out this thing ought not so to be. Why do these sons and daughters of those heroic fathers and mothers suffer that heroism to be forgotten, and the memory thereof to vanish from among men? The task were, truly, not properly ours to perform; for we are only a late-comer into this Western land. On. boyhood and early manhood were spent far away amid other and distant scenes. Our youthful eyes rested on the hills and mountains of the far-off East; but our boyish ears in those days, now long past, drank eagerly in the recital of events, then ancient, the tales of what was to us pio- neer life, of hardship and toil, of Indian warfare, of border troubles, of defeat and capture, of dreary winter camps, of loathsome prison ships, of poverty, suffering and want, of failing harvests, of midnight conflagiations, of deadly epidemics; all these and more by far, came upon men, and were heroically borne by them, by grandfathers and grandmothers in those days- . " Auld Lang Syne," in the land where our childhood's hours were spent. And we have read, too, histories of those times, gathered in patient perseverance, by the grateful descendants of those hardy ancestors, and published as enduring memorials of those by-gone years.
Time has fled rapidly on, and the sources of history for these things in this county of ours, have been well-nigh dried up. Yet thus far nothing permanent and effectnal has been done. Pardon us, then, dear friends, if, in our earnest conviction that something should be accomplished, and that without delay, we have overstepped the bounds of propriety, if in the eager desire to collect and preserve the memorials of these hardy settlers, we may appear to have usurped the place which ought to belong to some native-born son or daughter of old Randolph.
But hitherto no step forward has been taken, and we have been by many who claim to be friends, urged and encouraged to undertake the task; and truly a long and tedious task it has, in fact, turned out to be; even longer and more tedious and difficult than we had pictured to ourself. The facts are hard to find-hard to verify-hard to condense-hard to present in proper form; and one thing we wish to say with great fraukness, that while we have done our utmost for the purpose, yet wo do by no means flatter ourself to have attained complete accuracy, and perhaps hardly even an approximation thereto. The chief dependence for infor- mation as to alleged facts is, of course, the memory of pioneers or of their relatives or friends; but memory is proverbially treach- erous and uncertain, and often contradictory, e. g., take so simple a fact as the time when the first rail track reached the State line at Union City. The thing took place only about twenty-nine years ago; it was a notable publie event, and perhaps twenty persons are now residents in that town who were then there and witnessed the occurrence or heard the fact stated by those who did witness it. As to this event, one would suppose entire accuracy might be secured; yet we find it true that three different mon, all claiming to be eye-witnesses, give three different dates, varying as much as a whole month, and each one is sure that he is right, giving special reasons for the exactness of his memory. So, then, absolute accuracy is doubtless out of the question; and for every de- fect which any critical eye may detect in this work, we can ourself doubtless point ont a dozen. We are, indeed, painfully con

scions of the imperfections of our work, yet we feel, moreover, that we have expended great labor and taken exceeding care to approach as near entire correctness as could possibly be done. And, with this conviction, we humbly solicit the forbearance of our readers. If it were to happen that a second edition were to be issued, corrections might be made as should be found needful; but as to that, time alone can tell. We can say with truth, that having taken up the enterprise, we have done what could reasonably he asked or expected to make the book reliable, interesting and true; we have honestly tried to make it a work of which Randolph County " will not willingly let die," and which may be a worthy and valuable addition to the local history of the Commonwealth. In arrangement of material, the principle of grouping has been employed to a great extent. Agriculture, cducation, relig- ion, military matters, cemeteries, attorneys, physicians and several other subjects, have been treated for the county as a whole.
The military history is unusually full and comprehensive. Biography, also, is very extensive in the work, and personal reminisceners have been freely given, the author believing that these sketches will be full of interest. So far as possible, the lives of early pioneers have beer, detailed, especially of those who are now resting from their labors. The lives of subscribers are in - serted, but the biographies of many may be found who have long since left the shores of time, and of many also who are now nged and feeble and infirm, yet who are numbered still among the living heroes who have achieved the mighty conquest of human prowess over wild and savage nature, and who have made the wilderness to bud and blossom as the rose, and who survive to behold the changes that have been wrought. The chapter on the publie lands was framed from materials furnished from Washington, through the kindness of J. H. Stine, Esq., Government employe therefor many years, but who still retains his connection with. and affection for, the county which was his residence when called into the public service.
In the military history, great use has been made of Adjutant General Terrell's Report for Indiana, published soon after the close of the war. while, in many cases also, facts from personal and other sources have been stated. The prison life of C. W. Diggs was condensed from Gen. Shank's Report on the Treatment of Prisoners, published by authority of Congress in 1869. The details concerning the others were written down from the lips of the parties themselves. Great labor has been expended in search- ing the official records of various kinds. The county officers, past and present, have rondered every practicable aid, and furnished every possible facility in furtherance of our enterprise, and scarcely an individual has been found in the county who did not cheer- fully do whatever seemed needful to make our toilsome task an abundant success.
Among the other works consulted have been Tuttle's and Dillon's History of Indiana, Darke County History, Allen County History, Delaware County History, Elkhart County History, the Legislative journals, C. H. Smith's Recollections, Smith's Early Methodism, and various other works. The Smith family gave access to the mannscripts left by Hon. Jere Smith, some of which have been incorporated in the work. Mr. Osborn, of Economy, Wayne County, allowed us to present the substance of the " weather record " begun by his father nearly fifty years ago, and continued by the family to the present time.

It remains for us to express our grateful acknowledgements to the many kind friends (and their name is legion, and they embrace the entire county), who have encouraged and assisted in accomplishing our ardnous task. Without their kind co-operation, indeed. such a task would have been utterly in vain.
The sources of history in our case have been mostly personal and verbal. Something, of course, has been gleaned from books and from records, but most has been drawn from original sources, from the aged, worthy pioneers themselves or from their intelligent and enterprising descendants.
Entire and absolute acenracy is, of course, scarcely attainable in such an enterprise, since the information is to be gained almost wholly by word of mouth; and reliance must be upon the memory, often of persons who are aged and infirm, and concern- ing events which occurred in the long, long ago. Even where one would expect to find records nt command in the county offices of county officials in the past, a painful deficiency is noticeable.
It might have well been supposed that a full and accurate record could have been found as to the names and terms, etc., of of the various metumubents of county and township offices. It would have been thought also that a record of the names of the sol- diers enlisted from the county would have been preserved as a part of the official history thereof. Neither of these things, how- ever, is to be found; and as to some of the officers of the days of " Anld Lang Syne," to find out who they were, how long they served. etc .. has been wholly out of the question. And after the long experience of painful and often fruitless research, the anthor feels a settled conviction that. instead of being blameworthy for omissions or mistakes, he is, rather, deserving of public approval, not to say admiration, for the array of facts as to the early and later history presented, and for the degree of accuracy achieved in the performance of the work.
Records, wherever attainable, have been freely brought into requisition. Written documents, personal or official, have been used: records preserved in that precious treasure, the family Bible, " grandmother's old Bible," oftentime worn and fallen in

piees from reading and handling, when the primeval forest frowned heavy and dark over all this land, written by hands beloved that have long been cold and lifeless in the tomb, have in many cases been made to yield their sacred remembrances for our benefit. Birchs, marriages, deaths, lists of the names of children, eight, ten, even fifteen or eighteen in number in a single group, have been discovered in the ancient record; or the ancient grandfather, or, better still, the aged grandmother, with clearer mind and more accurate memory, has recited the facts, still recollected, of the events of their early youth and their active maturity, of Indian troubles, of early migration, of primal forest life, of privation and hunger and hardship, when the roads were trails, and the stream-crossings were fords, when the dwellings were cabins and the towns were not.
It is greatly to be hoped that, while minor errors may, doubtless, be found, and possibly of such not a few, yet substantial accuracy will have been attained; and, if not, that such errors will rather be regarded as mistakes to he lamented than as faults to be condemned.
To the business men, the legal fraternity, the medical profession, the clergy and the press, to the officials, past and present of every degree, and to all and sundry, too many even to name, citizens of Randolph, now or heretofore, for every encouraging word spoken. and for every friendly act done in its behalf, sincere and hearty thanks are hereby cheerfully tendered by the author of Randolph County History, by the publishers thereof, and by all who have taken part or borne responsibility in its preparation.
And now, to the citizens of Randolph, the warm-hearted, generous men and women of our noble cld county, and to those who have at any time been residents therein; to those who, remain of the old stock, and to the children of the pioneers wherever they may be found, and truly they are scattered far and wide throughout this mighty Western valley and among the mountains stretching boundless to the ocean shore; and to the reading public at large, we modestly and timidly, yet confidingly, present this final result of long and wearisome labor, fondly hoping that those who receive and those who read the work will, at least, do us the justice to believe that. in this pious attempt to rescue from hopeless oblivion the memory of the venerable past, and to assist the present and coming generations to bestow fitting and reverential honor upon the hardy and glorious band who, in by-gone years, with much labor and unknown hardship, led forth "the grand procession of the ages" to lay the foundations of this princely Com- monwealth of the latter day; that, in this difficult, yet sacred and pleasing, task which our hands have undertaken to accomplish. "we have done what we could."
[The deaths of the pioneers are occurring with alarming frequency. Since this work was begun, many of the aged veterans have dropped into the grave. This treatise was planned, indeed, in the "nick of time." It contains important statements taken from the lips of aged persons, then hale and vigorous, now, alas! pale and silent in death, and hidden in the cold and solemn tomb! ]
[ NOTE. - It is proper to state that while the great body of this volume is the work of myself, it is true, nevertheless, that a considerable number of the biographical sketches contained in the book have been prepared by other hands. E. TUCKER. ]
