PREFACE HERE is nothing of the spectacular in the presentation of this volume of Bergen County marriages to the public, but in the preservation of these records there is performed a II sel"Vlce of value that will increase with the passing years. Nor 1s the work itself unat­ tended by human interest am! even something of the dramatic, for it is an accomplishment made possible by one who has p=¾5sed from our midst, an achievement of hands that are stilled. William 0. Allison was a life member, vice-president, and financial benefactor of the Bergen County His­ torical Society, and in addition to generous gifts to the regular activities of the Society established a fund of which he made the Curator, Mrs. Frances A. Westervelt, special trustee. With the discovery in the Court House at Hackensack of these records, entered by ministers and justices of the peace, there was disclosed a fitting use for the fund,} use that would permit of dedicating to Mr. Allison a memorial in recognition of his generous support and aid of :ill his­ torical work. Historians and genealogists to whom these data are now made availabfe are debtors to him, owers of a debt that can be discharged by the careful, conscientious, effective type of research and study that he admired. As for the compiler, it is another milestone upon the road that she has long traveled, a road leading to a fuller record of Bergen County history, a wider popular knowledge of the lives and works of Bergen Countians, from even the time of Oratam, ancl of the historic ground we tread from day to day. MRS. FRANCES A. WESTERVELT. Hackensack, N. J . February 1, 1929.
