knowledge of the county, as possessed by
the elder living citizens, If collected, would
be interesting and instructive now, but
thousand fold more interesting and instruc-
tive when read in the Centennial year 1876.
; Can the reader imagine how interesting
document would be that contained the
knowledge of events and people tha. is pos
sessed by such elder citizens as E. Doty,
John Wright, Jacob A. Christy, George
Jacobs, Noah A. Elder, John Robinson,
james sIcCrum, Joseph Middagh, David
Wilson, Noah Hertzler, Jerome Thompson,
S. o. Evans, David Beshoar, Sr., II Z. Nc
Aster, d. C. Shclienberger, Richard Doyle,
Judge Burchfield, and others throughout
the county. Call a meeting, and if the
fathers are slow to act in the cause, let the
sons take up the work and listen to and
write down what those of former gener-
alton are pleased to give, so that the past
History of the county be not left blank to
Us speople.
