DEDICATION


This Work Is Respectfully Dedicated to


THE PIONEERS,


Most of Whom Have Long Since Departed. May the Memory of

Those Who Laid Down the Burdens of Life by the Wayside

Ever Be Fragrant with the Breath of Summer

Flowers for Their Toils and Sacrifices Have

Made Carroll and Harrison Coun-

ties, Ohio, a Domain of

Sunshine and

Delights.
