PREFACE
THE greatest of English historians, MACAULAY, and one of the most brilliant writers of the
present century, has said : " The history of a country is best told in a record of the lives of its
people." In conformity with this idea, the BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD has been prepared.
Instead of going to musty records, and taking therefrom dry statistical matter that can be
appreciated by but few, our corps of writers have gone to the people, the men and women
who,have, by their enterprise and industry, brought this county to a rank. second to none among
those comprising this great and noble State, and from their lips have the story of their life
struggles. No more interesting or instructive matter could be presented to an intelligent public. In
this volume will be found a record of many whose lives are worthy the imitation of coming
generations. It tells how some, commencing life in poverty, by industry and economy, have
accumulated wealth. It tells how others, with limited advantages for securing an education, have
become learned men and women, with an influence extending throughout the length and breadth
of the land. It tells of men who have risen from the lower walks of life to eminence as statesmen,
and whose names have become famous. It tells of those in every walk in life who have striven to
succeed, and records how that success has usually crowned their efforts. It tells also of those,
who, not seeking the applause of the world, have pursued the " even tenor of their way," content
to have it said of them, as Christ said of the woman performing a deed of mercy—"They nave
done what they could." It tells how many, in the pride and strength of young manhood, left the
plow and the anvil, the lawyer's office and the counting-room, left every trade and profession,
and at their country's call went forth valiantly " to do or die," and how through their efforts the
Union was restored and peace once more reigned in the land. In the life of every man and of
every woman is a lesson that should not be lost upon those who follow after.
Coming generations will appreciate this volume and preserve it as a sacred treasure, from the fact
that it contains so much that would never find its way into public records, and which would
otherwise be inaccessible. Great care has been taken in the compilation of the work and every
opportunity possible given to those represented to insure correctness in what has been written ;
and the publishers flatter themselves that they give to their readers a work with few errors of
consequence. In addition to biographical sketches, portraits of a number of representative citizens
are given.
The faces of some, and biographical sketches of many, will be missed in this volume. For this the
publishers are not to blame. Not having a proper conception of the work, some refused to give
the information necessary to compile a sketch, while others were indifferent. Occasionally some
member of the family would oppose the enterprise, and on account of such opposition the
support of the interested one would be withheld. In a few instances men never could be found,
though repeated calls were made at their residence or place of business.
December, 1902.
