Book Description

Excerpt from A Centennial History, of the Villages of Iroquois and Montgomery and the Township of Concord This Centennial History has been written at the earnest solicitation of my personal friends, Frank Gilbreth, County Superintendent of Schools, and Frank Hooper, Circuit Judge of this Judicial District. The only reward they offered me was the pleasure to be derived from a siege of hard work, during a siege of extremely hot weather. I feel sure that these gentlemen, who have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and knowing my aversion to labor from the standpoint of personal experience, would not have requested me to do this thing unless it was for the benefit of the community. If this book should be found to have merit, the credit should be given to these gentlemen. If it appears in attractive dress, the Publisher should share this credit. Its defects, which are many, will be charged to me. Acknowledgment is made to Mrs. R. F. Karr, Marion Karr, John H. Francis, Gurdon S. Hubbard's Autobiography, Iroquois County Times-Democrat and Beckwith's History of Iroquois County, for some of the data which has been found available.
