PREFACE.


IN presenting to the citizens of the Lower Hocking Valley this History, it is with the full knowledge that there may be found within its pages errors, both of omission and commission. It would be strange, indeed, if in recording the many incidents which may have transpired since the Hocking Valley was transformed from the wilderness home of the Indian to the civilization of the white man, that mistakes have not been made and much left unrecorded ; yet, notwithstanding this, we feel confident that, by careful research, much has been of und, not generally known, worthy of a place in the annals of a local history which, but for this compilation, would have forever remained buried in the dark oblivion of the forgotten past.


To gather these daily incidents of the long ago has been a work of infinite care and attention to detail, and a dependence, in a great measure, upon the memory of early settlers now living, and to the imperfect records of historical events, which in many instances time has effaced, with facts but partially recorded. Of the living pioneers, they have told us of their trials and troubles of by-gone years with all that wonderful simplicity and aptness of illustration for which the " old pioneers " and their first descendants were noted.


'Tis true that their memories at times have sadly faltered, and that they have forgotten much of value and incidents of a thrilling nature, yet enough has been given worthy of a place among the archives of the Lower Hocking Valley's progress to warrant their narration upon the pages of history.


The county, township and city records and the files of old newspapers have been carefully conned, and many facts and figures have been culled by midnight toil. Every available source of information has been explored, and every avenue of investigation exhausted, that only such incidents as were trustworthy might find a place within the pages of this work, making it not only a compendium of acknowledged facts but a useful and valuable book of reference. Intelligent readers may judge of how this labor has been performed and make all due allowance for such errors in names and dates as may be found therein. Perfection in man is not of this world, therefore to say that this work approached that high degree of excellence would savor too much of vanity ; but let us say that an honest endeavor has been made to make the HISTORY OF THE LOWER HOCKING VALLEY worthy, in all respects, the careful perusal, if not approval, of the reader.

PREFACE.


One feature of the work is the method and order in which the matter it con tains has been compiled and arranged. The biographical sketches of each county are in their respective counties and alphabetically arranged. The portraits of many of the leading citizens of the valley grace the work ; and, take it together, while being far from perfect, yet it will be found to be the most complete and correct history of the Hocking Valley that the limits of such a work could contain.


This history appears none too soon. The pioneers have passed away, and the generation that succeeded them, the connecting link between them and the generation of to-day, are fast passing the "dark river," leaving little to tell of a people who dared all and endured all to give the stamp of civilization and Christianity upon our glorious land.


The author is indebted to many for their kindness in assisting him in the collection of the incidents, etc., which go to make up this volume, and most sincerely are our thanks tendered to the " old pioneers" who have so freely and cheerfully responded to requests for the history of the past. To the press of Athens, Nelsonville, Logan, McArthur, Zaleski and Hamden are we indebted for many favors, their files having proved of great value; also to the county officials of the respective counties, to ministers and officers of societies who have cheerfully lent us their aid. To Prof. J. P. Weethee, of Athens County, the author of the scientific chapter; to E. H. Moore and W. W. Knight thanks are due for favors rendered ; also to Captain William M. Bowen, author of the war history of Hocking County; Prof. McCray for Logan's school article, and to William Montgomery for valuable assistance. In Vinton County we are indebted to Colonel Homer C. Jones for war history, and to Mrs. Leah, widow of Judge Kaler, Mrs. Rachel Snyder, Robert Sage, Henry Payne and' N. C. Darst for much valuable. information.


In the hope that this work may meet with a generous welcome and, if found worthy, a cordial approval, it is respectfully submitted.
