REYNOLDS HISTORICAL GENEALOGY COLLECTION

INDIANA COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA
HER PEOPLE, PAST AND PRESENT
Embracing a History of the County Compiled by PROF. J. T. STEWART And a Genealogical and Biographical Record of Representative Families
IN TWO VOLUMES ILLUSTRATED
VOLUME I
CHICAGO J. H. BEERS & CO. 1913
PREFACE
1123634
In presenting "Indiana County and Her People" to its patrons, the publish- ers have to acknowledge, with gratitude, the encouragement and support their enterprise has received, and the willing assistance rendered in enabling them to surmount the many unforeseen obstacles to be met with in the production of a work of such magnitude. To procure the materials for its compilation, official records have been carefully examined ; newspaper files searched, manuscripts, letters and memoranda have been sought; those longest in the locality were interviewed; and all the material has been so collated, systematized and indexed as to render it easy of reference.
Hle who expects to find the work entirely free from errors or defects has little knowledge of the difficulties attending the preparation of a work of this kind, and should indulgently bear in mind that "it is much easier to be critical than to be correct." It is, therefore, trusted that the history will be received by the public in that generous spirit which is gratified at honest and conscien- tious effort.
The publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of a staff of efficient and painstaking historians, who have been materially assisted by the gentlemen of the press and of the various professions, by the public officials, and by many other citizens of the county, of all of whom personal mention would gladly here be made, did space permit.
The work has been divided into two parts, History and Biography. The general history of the county, and for the most part of the townships and boroughs, has been compiled and prepared by Prof. J. T. Stewart. The Blairs- ville chapter is from the pen of Thomas Davis Marshall; the Montgomery town- ship chapter by S. K. Rank; the Bench and Bar chapter by Samuel A. Douglass, Esq. Acknowledgment is made of assistance rendered by Gen. Harry White and Dr. W. B. Ansley in the prosecution of the work.
In behalf of the author thanks are extended to all who have contributed to the work, the ministers of the county, especially Revs. W. J. Wilson and H. F. King, of Indiana, Pa., and H. W. Maguire, of Cookport, Pa .; the press, especially the Indiana Progress and the Saltsburg Press; the church officials; John Z. Simpson for the use of his library; James M. Swank; Dr. W. J. Me- Knight ; John S. Ritnour, and William F. Lindsey.
The Biographical department is of special interest. In nearly every instance the data were submitted to those immediately interested for revision and cor- rection. The work, which is one of generous amplitude, is placed in the hands of the public with the belief that it will be found a valuable addition to the library, as well as an invaluable contribution to the historical and genealogical literature of Pennsylvania.
