PREFACE



All life and achievement is evolution; present wisdom comes from past
experience, and present commercial prosperity has come only from past exer-
tion and suffering. The deeds and motives of the men that have gone before
have been instrumental' in shaping the destinies of later communities and
states. The development of a new country was at once a task and a privi-
lege. It required great courage, sacrifice and privation. Compare the pres-
ent conditions of the people of Guernsey county. Ohio, with what they were
one hundred years ago. From a trackless wilderness and virgin land,
it has come to be a center of prosperity and civilization, with millions of
wealth, systems of railways, grand educational institutions, splendid indus-
tries and immense agricultural and mineral productions. Can any thinking
person be insensible to the fascination of the study which discloses the
aspirations and efforts of the early pioneers who so strongly laid the founda-
tion upon which has been reared the magnificent prosperity of later days?
To perpetuate the story of these people and to trace and record the social,
political and industrial progress of the community from its first inception
is the function of the local historian. A sincere purpose to preserve facts
and personal memoirs that are deserving of perpetuation, and which unite
the present to the past, is the motive for the present publication. The work
has been in the hands of able writers, who have, after much patient studv
and research, produced here the most complete biographical memoirs of
Guernsey county. Ohio, ever offered to the public. A specially valuable and
interesting department is that one devoted to the sketches of representative
citizens of this county whose records deserve preservation bcause of their
worth, effort and accomplishment. The publishers desire to extend their
thanks to the gentlemen who have so faithfully labored to this end. Thanks
are also due to the citizens of Guernsey county for the uniform kindness with
which they have regarded this undertaking and for their many services ren-
dered in the gaining of necessary information.

In placing the "History of Guernsey County, Ohio," before the citizens,
the publishers can conscientiously claim that they have carried out the plan as
outlined in the prospectus. Every biographical sketch in the work has been
submitted to the party interested, for correction, and therefore any error of
fact, if there be any, is solely due to the person for whom the sketch was pre-
pared. Confident that our efforts to please will fully meet the approbation of
the public, we are.

Respectfully,

THE PUBLISHERS.
