. PREFACE .
HIS VOLUME, being the first of its kind ever published, goes forth to our patrons the results of months of arduous, unremitting and conscientious labor. None so well know as those who have been associated with us the aln:ost insurmountable difficulties to be met with in the preparation of a work of this character. Since the inauguration of the enterprise, a large force has been employed in gathering material. In gather- ing from these numerous sources, both for the Directory and Biographical departments, the conflicting statements, the discrepancies and the fallible and incomplete nature of public opinion, caused by numerous swindlers in the past, have made it quite a difficult task to secure the many thousands of names represented in this book. Again, members of the same families disagree as to the spelling of the family name, contradict each other's statements as to the dates of birth, of settlement, nativity and other matters of fact. In this entangled condition, we have given preference to the preponderance of authority, and while we acknowledge the existence of errors and our inability to furnish a perfect Encyclopedic Directory, we claim to have come up to the standard of our promises, and given as accurate a work as the nature of the surroundings would permit.
Whatever may be the verdict of those who do not and will not comprehend the difficulties to be met with, we feel assured that all just and thoughtful people will appreciate our efforts, and recognize the importance of the undertaking and the great public benefit that has been accomplished in preserving the valuable historical matter of the county and biographies of many of its citizens, as well as numerous illustrations, half-tones, etc.
To those who have given us their support and encouragement, we acknowledge our gratitude, and can assure them that is years go by the book will grow in value as a repository, not only of pleasing revfing matter, but of treasured information of the past that will become an enduring monument.
