Book Description

Excerpt from Leading Events in Johnson County Iowa History There are limits to the details that may be incorporated, in the consulting of records, and all may not agree upon the selec tion, but in every instance these have been consulted person ally, if within reach. If there appears to be a repetition in certain portions of paragraphs it. Is for the purpose of indi cating the connections, since to group subject matter under the proper headings and avoid any confusion is somewhat difficult, when it has been collected from so many sources. It may be mentioned that in some instances the desired informa tion has been unobtainable because of deficient records or fail ure to secure any reply to correspondence. The time is fast approaching when the records of even the smallest institution will be considered of value for as the founders pass away those who follow will have no definite information, as to how it began. This may be well illustrated in the average country church, where in many instances there is a history of fifty years without an item on record.
