INDEX


PREFACE


This work purports to be a concise and, as nearly as possible, chronological history of Ashtabula County. The annals as set forth have been gleaned from what is believed to have been the most authentic sources available, and their compilation represents nearly a year's time and effort, digging and delving for reliable facts. The general history of the county, from the landing of the first white settlers to the present time, has been pretty thoroughly covered.


The compiler realizes that it is humanly impossible to chronicle absolute facts in all cases, and especially regarding the happenings of years so far back that there are none now living to give personal information. It has therefore been necessary to refer to the work of former historians in many instances. It has also been necessary to take the best information obtainable from some individual, at times, who might unintentionally err.


Ashtabula County, the largest, in area, in the state, and one of the most important, historically and commercially, has many things of which to boast. It has been nearly a half century since a history devoted exclusively to Ashtabula County has been written, and those years have seen the greatest achievements in way of progress and development.


It has been the endeavor of the compiler to give credit to all persons and sources from which the information given has been obtained, when credit was due. This, it is believed, will add to the interest for the readers, when they see that their friends have been contributors. The utmost appreciation of the editor is here expressed to those who, by their contributions and information, have helped in the assembling of the material for this history. The work of gleaning the information has been wonderfully interesting to the writer, and if the readers find as much pleasure in its perusal, it will be very gratifying.
