Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Miami County, Indiana, Vol. 1: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People and Its Principal Interests
The division of the subject matter into topics and the arrangement of chapters is, we believe, the best that could be made and will prove of great convenience to the reader., The chapter on the City of Peru was written under the immediate supervision of Hon. Charles A. Cole, whose long residence in the city and close identification with municipal affairs render him peculiarly qualified for the task. In the preparation of the chapter on the Bench and Bar acknowledgement is due to H. P. Loveland, Nott N. Antim, W. B. Mcclintic and E. P. Kling, who furnished valuable information relating to the courts, the Bar Associa tion, etc.
Acknowledgement is also due to Drs. J. 0. Ward, E. H. Andrews, M. A. Mcdowell and C. J. Helm for their assistance in the preparation of the chapters on Medical Profession and Charities; to Omer Holman, of the Peru Republican; Alfred E. Zehring, Ot' Bennett's Switch; James W. Hurst, of Macy; Hal C. Phelps, prosecuting attorney; Frank.\ I. Stutesman, Henry Meinhardt, and the various county Officials and their deputies, all of whom rendered assistance in the collection of information, and to Lou Baer for a number of photographs to be used as illustrations.
