Frank Clinton Merritt
Volume 1
Chicago Ill., 1928

To Those
Sturdy Pioneers of '49 and Later Days;
To Those Who Since
That Time Have Contributed to the Building
of a Great County and Cities;
To Those who Have made Our Local History One of
Splendid Achievement; and to Those Who
Are no Contributing to That History;
And to the Memory of All Such
This Work is Most Sincerely Dedicated.
