PREFACE


The history of Columbiana County involves more than a century and a quarter of pioneer effort, subsequent achievement and constant progress until now it stands out, in material accomplishment and social development, as among the leading divisions of the commonwealth.


In its herein recorded events of the past there has been a painstaking effort to gratify the reader's curiosity, while making in the degree possible a decided tendency to accuracy of statement and the maintaining of a continuity of narrative that is, it is believed, in keeping with the cumulation of its ever widening activities.


To meet this demand the division into pertinent chapters of the doings in different lines of its inhabitants throughout the years has been made. Thus, it is felt, that every departure within it has been more or less directly touched. Where such may not have been superlatively emphasized, sufficient information, it is estimated, has been given as to make possible the procuring at a modicum of effort by those interested that which may further be required.


In orderly notation and with a wealth of detail facts attending occurrences that have been outstanding in its early historical, religious, social, military, financial, journalistic, industrial and sporting avenues have been submitted. These, together, have given it the composite tone it now enjoys.


Every attempt has been made to fill in interims previously unrecorded with the idea of having authoritative data instantly available of men and women who lived within its domain, as well as the happenings that they in whole or part brought about.


If, as Thomas Carlyle affirmed: "Histories are as perfect as the historian is wise and is gifted with an eye and soul," then the preparation of this one has at least tended to the virtues to which he alludes and in addition signally added to the admiration for and the loyalty to the section which thus it was sought to describe and record its outstanding events. That it should similarly develop a responsive chord in the hearts of its readers is genuinely hoped.


H. B. BARTH.
