PREFACE.


IN placing the Biographical Memoirs of Wyandot County before the citizens,. the publisher can conscientiously claim that he has carried out in full every promise made in the Prospectus. He points with pride to the elegance of the binding of the volume, and to the beauty of its typography, to the superiority of the paper on which the work is printed, and to the truthfulness depicted by its. portraits and the high class of art in which they are finished. Every biographical sketch has. been submitted for correction and approval to the person for whom it was written, and therefore any error of fact, if there be any, is solely due to the person for whom the sketch was prepared. The publisher would here avail himself of the opportunity to thank the citizens of Wyandot county for the uniform kindness with which they have regarded this undertaking, and for their many services rendered in assisting in the gaining of necessary information.


Confident that our efforts to please will fully meet the approbation of the public, we are


Respectfully,


B. F. BOWEN, PUBLISHER.
