PUBLISHERS' PREFACE
All life and achievement is evolution; present wisdom comes from past experience, and present
commercial prosperity has come only from past exertion and sacrifice. The deeds and motives of
the men who 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 privilege. It
required great courage, sacrifice and privation. Compare the present conditions of the people of
Champaign county, Ohio, with what they were a century ago. From a trackless wilderness and
virgin land, the county has come to be a center of prosperity and civilization, with millions of
wealth, systems of railways, educational and religious institutions, varied industries and immense
agricultural and dairy interests. 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
foundation 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, religious, educational, 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 publishers
desire to extend their thanks to those who have so faithfully labored to this end. Thanks are also
due to the citizens of Champaign county, for the uniform kindness with which they have regarded
this undertaking, and for their many services rendered in the gaining of necessary information.
In placing the "History of Champaign 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
prepared. Confident that our effort to please will fully meet the approbation of the public, we are,
Respectfully,
THE PUBLISHERS.
