Excerpt from History of Seneca County: Containing a Detailed Narrative of the Principal Events That Have Occurred Since Its First Settlement Down to the Present Time, A History of the Indians, That Formerly Resided Within Its Limits

The Object in writing the following pages has been to perpetuate the memory of our oldest settlers, and to rescue from oblivion such as is of interest to our citizens, by giving a faithful narrative of the most important events which have occurred within the limits of the county.

We had at first prepared a limited sketch, which was intended for publication in one of the county papers, but at the suggestion of our very esteemed friend, Mr. James gray, of Melmore - and as, upon investigation, it was found that much matter might be added which would interest the public, we have produced this volume.

Much Of the materials have been furnished us by those who are residents Of, or have resided Within the county, and while we have sought the homes of early settlers for information, we have been greeted. With a frank welcome, characteristic of its inhabitants.
