I shall esteem it the greatest satisfaction, if I can preserve q true and faithful record of the life, characteristics and mode of living of those who have gone on before in the race of life. I have sought facts for a correct history of the County wherever I could find the1n. If it should be found by the reader, that any of my statements are incorrect, let me say in advance, lhai when I penned those statements I believed lhe1n to be true. I have been collecting oral inforniation for this work for twelve years, besides reading n1any histories and searching newspaper files and cemetery records. Would it not be a sad thought that our ancestors, the pioneers in creating this County, should be en tirely forgotten, or should we let die the n1e1nory of their heroic service? Who zvould wanl to live only in the fickle and fa ding memories of lhe fleeting present? It is with a profound feeling of gratitude the author acknowledges the splendid aid given in preparing this work by every one. He hereby acknowledges the source for much of the material zzsed: Thomas IJ;J. Owen's History of Alabama and Dictionary of Ala bama Biography, in four volumes; The Archives and History Departn1ent, Jtlontgon1ery, Ala.; Iiistory of Alabama by Miller; History of Alabama by Albert James Pickett, Edition 1896, by Robert C.
