TWENTIETH CENTURY HISTORY OF
ALTOONA
AND
BLAIR COUNTY
PENNSYLVANIA
AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS
BY JESSE C. SELL
"History is Philosophy Teaching by Example" -
PUBLISHED BY RICHMOND-ARNOLD PUBLISHING CO. F. J. RICHMOND, PRES. C. R. ARNOLD, SEC. AND TREAS.
CHICAGO 1911
PREFACE.
1169766
The aim of the publishers of this volume and of the author of the history has been to secure for the historical portion thereof full and accurate data re- specting the history of the county from the time of its early settlement, and to condense it into a clear and interesting narrative. All topics and occurrences have been included that were essential to this object.
The reviews of resolute and strenuous lives that make up the biographical part of the volume are admirably calculated to foster local ties, to inculcate patriotism, and to emphasize the rewards of industry dominated by intelligent purpose. They constitute a most appropriate medium for perpetuating personal annals, and will be of incalculable value to the descendants of those commemo- rated. These sketches are replete with stirring incidents and intense experiences and are flavored with a strong human interest that will naturally prove to a large portion of the readers of the book one of its most attractive features. In the aggregate of personal memoirs thus collated will be found a vivid epitome of the growth of Blair County, which will fitly supplement the historical state- ment, for its development is identified with that of the men and women to whom it is attributable. Sketches unrevised by subscribers are marked by a small asterisk (*) placed after the name of the subscriber.
The publishers have endeavored to avoid slighting any part of the work, and to fittingly supplement the editor's labors by exercising care over the mi- nutest details of publication, and to give to the volume the three-fold value of a readable narrative, a useful work of reference, and a tasteful ornament to the library. We believe the result has justified the care thus exercised.
Special prominence has been given to the portraits of many representative citizens which appear throughout the volume, and we believe that they will prove not its least interesting feature. We have sought in this department to illustrate the different spheres of industrial and professional achievement as con- spicuously as possible.
To all those who have kindly interested themselves in the successful prep- aration of this work, and who have voluntarily contributed most useful infor- mation and data, or rendered other assistance, we hereby tender our grateful acknowledgments.
