Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voters and Tax-Payers of Bureau County, Illinois: Containing, Also, a Biographical Directory of Its Tax-Payers and Voters; A History of the County and State; Map of the County But few can realize the task involved in the publication of a work of this kind. We have to contend against ignorance, prejudice and selfishness. Ignorance of some people as to our objects, many refusing to give their names, for fear they will be used for some swindling purpose; or their politics, lest it be used to their discredit;-or how much property they own, fearing it is to increase their taxes. Prejudice of people who have subscribed through agentsfor publications, and, not having received what they expected, have forever' thereafter sworn war fare against all agents, without discriminating, or taking into consideration the absolute necessity of employing men under certain circumstances as the media between publisher and people. Selfishness by citizens who expect to have pub lished, gratuitously, every thing they see fit to send us, which usually is of a per sonal nature, or not relevant matter, and if published would be of no general interest, therefore we deem best to suppress it, thereby receiving their outspoken enmity. For this work we do not claim perfection; that would be an impossi bility. Most townships have been gone over thoroughly, but still there are undoubtedly errors, mostly in spelling names and in dates. We have several cases in bureau'count'y where members of the same family spell their names in different ways, and a number of cases where the dates of births, of marriages, or when they came into the county, were improbable, and when brought to their notice, they had made a mistake generally of ten years in calculation. We give our agents the most positive instructions to be especially careful in getting names and dates, but ofttimes men are indifferent in giving required information, and when met on the road, at the threshing machine, or in the rain or cold, the information is given hurriedly or carelessly, and our agents are obliged to put it down as given them, and when copied, mistakes necessarily occur. We have endeavored to get the names of all tax-payers and voters. We have about names, the vote being about which shows we could not have missed many. In our History of the County we have endeavored to give an interesting, condensed, and correct sketch. Our History of Illinois will give the reader some interesting and valuable historical facts. Our Laws should be carefully read by every ibusiness man and farmer; they contain invaluable jnformation. In fact we have toiled long and at great expense, and have far exceeded our promises to make everything in these pages interesting and valu able, and all you could expect or wish, and in your criticisms, please to bear in mind that in gathering, compiling and publishing a volume of this kind, perfec tion would be an impossibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Bureau County: In Two Parts The writer oi the following story came to Bureau soon after the settlement had been commenced, and experienced some of the inconveniences common to the settlement of a new country. At that time, the prairies of this county were in a state of nature, without roads, fields, or dwellings, a part of which had not yet been surveyed. The only marks of civilization to be seen were a few log cabins, built here and there in the edge of the timber, and throughout the county there was scarcely a school, or meeting house; not one surveyed road, nor one stream bridged. Indian trails were still to be seen, and traveled both by whites and Indians. The writer was well acquainted with the first settlers. And from them much of this story was obtained. He also had frequent interviews with Indians, who had spent their youthful days on Bureau, and from them many important facts were gathered. There are some incidents narrated in this story, which were unknown to the early settlers, but the most ofthem were well known, and will be confirmed by persons still living. Efforts were made to harmonize the early traditions of this county, as well as the state ments of Indians, with well established facts, and with a few exceptions it has been successful. In historical sketches, discrepancies in narratives will occasionally appear, which must necessarily be supplied by inference of the writer, and this story is not an exception to the rule. Neither money nor emulation induced the writer to offer these pages to the public; the necessarily limited circulation would prevent the former, and the criticisms common to local publications the latter. But another motive more laudable in its nature, and more useful in its effects, caused this work to appear, that is the great desire to preserve the early history of the county. The testimony of many of the early settlers, who are now in their graves, as well as of Indians that have long since passed away, was alone in possession of the writer, and justice required that it should be given to the public.

Download or read book The County Archives of the State of Illinois Classic Reprint written by Theodore Calvin Pease and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The County Archives of the State of Illinois The material presented for the various counties in the body of the report is not always uniform in scope. As to the variations mentioned above, in certain cases a standard designation for a record has been adopted; in other cases too great intricacy and variability made it necessary to let the local terminology stand. Differ ent counties, also, have been listed with different degrees of minuteness. In each case all the material available after being reduced to a standard order has been printed. The shorter lists I believe include all the more impor tant records, and the longer and more minute ones among them Champaign, Coles, Douglas, Moultrie, Sangamon, and Vermilion - exhibit in detail the actual conditions and incidentally the difficulty of the problem of selection with which the surveyors were confronted.
