EDITOR'S PREFACE The torch shall be extinguish'd which hath lit My midnight lamp, and what is writ, is writ— Would it were worthier! -BYRON. The writing of this history has been the work of over a year of constant research and work, and the idea of the editor has been to show by contrast the difference between the past and the present. The latter all know, and its blessings all enjoy. But the former, with its trials, its hardships, and its struggles bravely met, manfully born, and successfully overcome should make the thoughtful reader more content with the conditions of today. In finishing the work, it is but an act of justice on the part of the writer to express his thanks to Hon. Carl C. Anderson, the member of Congress from this district for the valuable information he secured from the old records at Washington; to Judge Daniel Babst of Crest-line and Hon. R W. Johnson of Galion, for much valuable information; to James D. Ferree for his valuable collection of historical data; to the county officials of Crawford for their uniform courtesy and assistance in the search of all records; to the officials of Delaware, Huron, Marion and Richland for similar favors. In the preparation of the work, first credit is due to the History of Crawford County published in 880o, by Baskin and Beatty, and written by many people, but the histories of Bucyrus by Thomas P. Hopley and of Galion by Dr. J. C. Mcllvaine were most valuable. The old files of the Crawford County Forum,with its pioneer letters of James Nail, James Dunlap and others and of the Bucyrus Journal with the letters of JohnModerwelL1, Robert Cowden and others furnished the substantial early history of the county, the Moderwell letters being the most complete of the early records in existence. The following are the more important works from which the various facts were gleaned: Histories of the United States by Lossing and Ellis. LaSalle's Discoveries, by Parkman. Bouquet's Expedition, by Parkman. Red-Men's Roads, Hurlbertt. Col. Smith's Captivity, 1755-59. Crawford's Campaign, by Butterfield. Narratives of Knight and Slover of the Crawford Expedition, published in 1782. Ohio in 1778, by James. Histories of Ohio by Atwater, Taylor, King, all published seventy to eighty years ago, and the modern ones of Abbott, and Van Tassell's Book of Ohio. Howe's History of Ohio. The Marion, Richland and Wyandot Histories of thirty years ago, all of which are excellent works, similar to the Crawford County History of the same date; the modern history of Marion county by Jacoby and of Richland county by Baughman. The history of Wayne county by Douglass, Knapp's History of the Maumee Valley, and Brice's History of Ft. Wayne, written thirty years ago. Files of the Columbus Gazette from 1820 to 1825, copies of the publications of the Ohio Archaeological Society and of the Ohio Magazine. Reid's Ohio in the War, Siebert's Underground Roads, the Lives of James Kilbourne of Worthington and Judge J. T. Anderson of Marion. W. A. Taylor's Annals of Progress; the early Gazetteers of Ohio. While mistakes may have been made in this History of Crawford County, let each one be overbalanced more than a hundred times by the facts which are correct.JOHN JOHN E. HOPLEY. Bucyrus,COhio, Oct. 1, 1912. PUBLISHERS' PREFACE The aim of the publishers of this volume and of the author of the history has been to secure for the historical portion thereof full and accurate data respecting the history of the county from the time of its early settlement and to condense it into a clear and interesting narrative. All topics and occurrences have been included that were essential to this subject. The reviews of resolute and strenuous lives that make up the biographical part of the volume are admirably calculated to foster local ties, to inculcate patriotism and to emphasize the rewards of industry dominated by intelligent purpose. They constitute a most appropriate medium for perpetuating personal annals and will be of incalculable value to the descendants of those commemorated. These sketches are replete with stirring incidents and intense experiences and are flavored with a strong human interest that will naturally prove to a large portion of the readers of the book one of its most attractive features. In the aggregate of personal memoirs thus collated will be found a vivid epitome of the growth of Crawford County, which will fitly supplement the historical statement, for its development is identical with that of the men and women to whom it is attributable. Sketches unrevised by subscribers are marked by a small asterisk (*) placed after the name of the subscriber. The publishers have avoided slighting any part of the work, and to the best of their ability have supplemented the editor's labors by exercising care over the minutest details of publication, in order to give the volume the three-fold value of a readable narrative, a useful work of reference and a tasteful ornament to the library. Special prominence has been given to the portraits of many representative citizens, which appear throughout the volume, and we believe that they will prove not its least interesting feature. We have sought in this department to illustrate the different spheres of industrial and professional achievement as conspicuously as possible. To all who have kindly interested themselves in the preparation of this work, and who have voluntarily contributed most useful information and data, or rendered any other assistance, we hereby tender our grateful acknowledgements.
