Excerpt from Original Portraits and Biographies of the Old Pioneers and Congressmen of Cattaraugus County: Its Agricultural Society, Towns and Post Offices, With the Statistic of Each Town, and Civil List, From the Organization of the County to 1857
Is to present brief sketches of some of the pioneers of Cat taraugus County-men who have made their mark, and are emphatically a part of the county's history - to the citizens of the present time not with the expectation of doing full jus tice to the characters of those eminent citizens, but as a sug gestion, to those suitably qualified, to prepare a full history-oi the county, with sketches of all of the pioneers to Whom the tribute OF gratitude is due. If the sketches here presented fail to accomplish all that could be desired, there is a public satisfaction in preserving the very correct portraits of those worthy men. For the very satisfactory manner in which the engraved portraits are executed, and the neat typography of these pages, credit is due to Messrs. Hosfobd Co., of New York City.
