"It is well for every form of organized society, from the family to the nation, to pause occasionally and devote itself to a review of the past, recalling whatever of persons and events may be worthy of recollection, and placing on a permanent record so much of the gathered results as ought to be preserved."

DEDICATION

To the memory of my FATHER and MOTHER, who were true PIONEERS in Lake County, and from whom my earliest and best impulses in the line of literature were received; and to the memory of OTHER PIONEERS, good and true men and women, hundreds of whom made homes in this Northwestern Indiana in the early pioneer days; as a memorial of their privations, their energy, their success; this volume is affectionately dedicated.
                                                                    T. H. BALL.
