HISTORY
Source:
The Lawyers
of Wayne County, Ohio
from
1812 to 1900
by Ben Douglas, Author of "History of Wayne Co., Ohio"
Clapper Printer Company, Publishers,
Wooster, Ohio
1900
To Hon. Martin Welker, this book is dedicated
The Author
"Sir, he hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book." - Lopve's
Labor Lost.
Books are as tombstones, it has been said, made by the living, for the living,
but destined soon only to remind us of teh dead.
The preface, like an epitaph, seems fruitlessly to
"Implore the passing tribute of a sigh."
As no one is allured by either a grave-inscription, or a preface, we have
forborne writing one.
