Preface
7031565
HE aim of the publishers of this volume and the author of the history has been to secure for the historical portion thereof full and accurate information respecting all subjects therein treated and to present the data thus gathered in a clear and impartial manner. All topics and occurences have been included that are essential to the clearness and usefulness of the history. Although the original purpose of the author was to limit the narrative to the close of 1904, he has found it expedient and has deemed it proper to touch on many matters relating to the year 1905, as well as to the current year.
It is impossible for the editor to enumerate all to whom he feels that thanks are due for assistance rendered and kindly interest taken in this work. First of all, he is especially indebted to Dr. Samuel A. Baxter, whose devotion to the cause of history, not only of Lima, but of all Northwestern Ohio, has been long known. His historical material, collected day by day during the long period of his useful life, was put freely at the disposal of the editor, and from that source is derived much of the earlier history found in this book. Chapters V and VI are entirely compiled from resources furnished by him. Dr. Baxter has always had great enthusiasm, admiration and love for Lima, his native city.
The editor is also under obligation to the writers of the various special contributions, to whom credit has been given; to Miss Clara V. Bingham, for faithful, conscientious and intelligent work; to Mr. George Feltz, auditor of Allen County, for most valuable assistance in consulting records; to Mr. Thomas H. Jones, treasurer of Allen County, for the translation of Welsh documents; to Hon. Walter B. Richie, Mr. N. W. Cunningham, Judge John E. Richie, Dr. L. J. Eger, Hon. S. D. Crites, Mr. T. B. Bowersock, Dr. R. E. Jones, Dr. S. B. Hiner, Hon. O. B. Selfridge, Jr., and others, for records and material furnished; and to the following, of Lima College, who ren- dered most timely assistance in the completion of this work-Prof. Arthur Blaser, Miss Frances Adkins and Miss Clara Longmeier.
In the preparation of the history, reference has freely been made to and extracts taken from the following historical records and books, viz : World Atlas, containing Knapp's History of Allen County; Allen County Atlas, 1880; and Allen County History, 1885. Especially valuable were Howe's
Historical Collections of Ohio and Knapp's History of the Maumee Valley .. Various State documents were frequently consulted and the State authorities. at Columbus were often called upon for assistance.
The reviews of resolute and strenuous lives, which make up the biograph- ical department of this volume, and whose authorship is independent of that of the history, are admirably adapted to foster local ties, to inculcate patriot- ism and to emphasize the rewards of industry, dominated by intelligent pur- pose. They constitute a most appropriate medium of perpetuating personal annals and will be of incalculable value to the descendants of those commem- orated. These sketches, replete with stirring incidents and intense experi- ences, will naturally prove to a large proportion of the readers of this book one of its most attractive features.
In the aggregate of personal memiors thus collated will be found a vivid epitome of the growth of Allen County, which will fitly supplement the his- torical statement. The publishers have endeavored in the preparation of the work to pass over no feature of it slightingly, but to give heed to the minutest details, and thus to invest it with a substantial accuracy which no other treatment would afford.
To note the history of a people, and to interpret the full meaning of events, is not an easy task. An earnest attempt has been made to record the facts, and to render due appreciation unto the humblest actor in the drama of this life-story. It is said we live in the century of achievements, and this is certainly true. But the Twentieth Century will produce nothing so great as its men and women. This volume is the history of men and women who have built a Commonwealth out of Nature's own material-and they builded wiser than they knew. We beg leave to commend this recital of the annals of the people of a great county to the consideration of a gen- erous public. It is full of interest and it has much inspiration.

THE PUBLISHERS.
Mote
All the biographical sketches published in this volume were submitted to their respective subjects or to the subscribers, from whom the facts were primarily obtained, for their approval or correction before going to press; and a reasonable time was allowed in each case for the return of the type- written copies. Most of them were returned to us within the time alloted, or before the work was printed, after being corrected or revised; and these may therefore be regarded as reasonably accurate.
A few, however, were not returned to us; and, as we have no means of knowing whether they contain errors or not, we cannot vouch for their accuracy. In justice to our readers, and to render this work more valuable for reference purposes, we have indicated these uncorrected sketches by a small asterisk (*), placed immediately after the name of the subject. They will all be found on the last pages of the book.
