PREFACE
We seldom forget the dreams of our youth-they are too dear to be forgotten. One of the youthful dreams of the author was the writing of this history. He longed for the time when he might tell the story of his native county-the county he loves so well. That dream has been realized, and here is offered, for the con- sideration of the public, the work, imperfect as it is, not of youthful years, but of the calm, sober period of life. It is offered with the hope that it will give the reader as much real pleasure in the reading as it has brought the author in the writing.
To write 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.
No historian can write history unaided and alone, he must depend upon those who have made the records, or upon those who were a part of the events nar- rated. He must consult the living and the dead-must weigh in the balance, impartially, the statements from whatever source, accepting or rejecting as the evidence warrants. Hence the author of this History has consulted many rec- ords, and has been the recipient of much help from many sources. In all cases his requests have been honored and for this he feels especially grateful.
It is impossible for the editor to enumerate here all to whom he feels a deep sense of gratitude for assistance rendered and kindly interest taken in this work. He is under especial obligation to Mrs. Ellen Brasee Towt, whose deep interest in her native county and intimate knowledge of events have made her a most valuable aid in the compilation of this history. She has rendered important service in the preparation of the chapter on the "Bench and Bar," for her knowl- edge of many facts there narrated came to her first hand from her distinguished father, Judge John Scofield Brasee. To Judge John G. Reeves, Judge E. F. Holland, Hon. James Pickering, and the late H. C. Drinkle, the editor is greatly indebted for direct assistance, as well as for encouragement and advice.
The editor's earnest thanks are also due to the various county officials, super- intendents of schools, township clerks, officials of the lodges, and benevolent orders, the Grand Army of the Republic, the post masters, editors of newspapers, Kraemer's "Lancaster" (1901), and to the old historians Henry Howe, Dr. Hervey Scott, A. A. Graham and C. M. L. Wiseman ; and to a host of personal friends whose names cannot, for want of space, be mentioned here, much as the editor would like to do so.
Others, who have contributed special articles are named therewith and are not separately mentioned here.
This work is dedicated not only to the many distinguished and noble lives that have brought undying fame to the county of Fairfield-but as well to the thousands of men and women in the humbler walks of life, whose sturdy char- acter and noble aspirations have formed the warp and woof of the public fabric, and have given to the county her stability and her worth.
