those who have secured the preparation of this history: to those
TOwho have so generously and liberally furnished the illustrations; to
those who have contributed their time and labor to make this a reli-
able repository of valuable information of the days of "auld Jang syne";
to those well-wishers of the enterprise whose cheering words and willing
assistance have ever been at our service; to these, and those unnumbered
ones who have extended manifold courtesies to us, we hereby express our
hearty thanks, and trust that the perusal of this volume will be a pleasure
and a satisfaction to them during long years to come. To compile even
the history of a single county requires much time, research, watchful care
and discrimination in order to record facts and not hearsay. " Out of
monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, records, fragments of
stone, passages of books, and the like, we doe save and recover somewhat
from the deluge of time."
