HISTORY
OF
BUTLER COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA.
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
OF SOME OF ITS
PROMINENT MEN AND PIONEERS.
CHICAGO: WATERMAN, WATKINS & Co. 1883.
PREFACE.
In placing this history of Butler County before their patrons, the publishers feel that their work will stand the test of candid criticism. They have spared neither endeavor nor expense, which could add to the value of the history and make it all that it ought to be; and therefore, they rest assured that those citi. zens who have for nearly a year and a half watched with friendly interest the progress of the work, will not be disappointed with the product of that long period of careful, concerted labor. That the history of Butler County, containing as it does, in its six hundred broad pages, at least five thousand dates and ten times as inany names, should be absolutely free from trivial error they do not claim, and thinking people will not expect; but the publishers believe, such has been the care bestowed upon the work by competent, experienced men -- writers, printers and proof-readers-that even the potty and inconsequen- tial class of errors have been reduced to the minimum, and that essential misstatements of statements have been entirely avoided. The riches of local historie lore, gathered from a thousand pioneers by the writers of the history of Butler County, have been returned to them, in what has seemed the most appropriate and accept- able form. It has been the study of the publishers by aid of all that is most excellent in the art of typog raphy, and in the bookbinders' skill, to send forth the history clothed as its worth deserves.
The general history of Butler County and under the chapter on Butler Borough have been written by Mr. Alfred Matthews. The chapter upon the bar as is elsewhere indicated, is from the pen of Thomas Robinson, and some lesser topies have been contributed by other citizens of the county. Upon the thirty- three exhaustive chapters concerning the townships of the county, a staff of careful, conscientious and thoroughly trained writers have been engaged for many months.
The publishers wish to return most sincere thanks on their own behalf, and that of those in their employ, to all who have been of assistance in the preparation of this work. To mention the names of all whose courteous and cordial co-operation has been extended to them and fully appreciated, would be impossible, for their number is hundreds. However, we cannot refrain from presenting the names of a few whose positions have enabled them to be of especial service in imparting valuable information or assisting in proeuring it. To this class belong Gen. John N. Parvianee, William Campbell James Dunlap, Campbell Purvianeo, Hon. Ebenezer MeJunkin, Judge James Bredin, Dr. Stephen Bredin, Hon. Jacob Zeigler, J. P. Irvine, Esq., Dr. II. C. Linn, Hon. Thomas Robinson, John H. Negley, Esq., John M. Thompson, Esq., Judge Charles MeCantless, Col. John M. Sullivan, Dr. A. M. Neyman, Hon. John M. Greer, Maj. C. E. Anderson, George W. Fleeger. Esq., F. M. Eastman, Esq., and W. H. Lusk, Esq., all of Butler Borough. To this brief list should be added the county officials, the members of the press generally, and the clergy. Valuable assistance have been rendered in the preparation of the literary contents of the work by Dr. Amos Lusk, of Zelienople. The exhaustive chapter on the oil development of Butler County owes much of its fullness and accuracy to A. S. Campbell and S. W. Harley, of Petrolia, George H. Graham, of Fairview, W. H. Hoffman, of Karns City, and I. J. McCandless, Theodore Huselton and John P. Bredin, of Butler.
