Excerpt from History of Vermilion County, Illinois, Vol. 1 of 2 From the time that the first White settler cast his lot within the borders of What is now Vermilion County to the present, stretches a period of years marked by the most momentous events in the world's history. Since that time the territory now comprising Vermilion County has changed from an unbounded waste, rich in potential great ness, but all undeveloped, into an empire in extent and a kingdom in wealth, prosperity and the influence of its people. In the preparation of this history former publications of a kindred nature and newspaper files have been freely consulted in an effort to reconcile some of the discrepancies of earlier writers. In many instances the aid of men, long residents of the county and authorities on these particular subjects, have been invoked, and the writer takes a reason able pride in having grouped in sequence the story of Vermilion County, which includes the salient facts of old histories, a wealth of new material, and a history that follows the course of the county from that day in 1819, when the first log cabin was erected, down to the begin ning of 1930. Although the writer realizes that in a work of this scope sins of omission have been committed, yet he trusts that the accuracy of this history is commensurate with the effort that has been made to make it what it is. There has been no attempt at fine writing, but only an earnest effort to tell in plain simple language the story of Vermilion County, its institutions and its people. The histories of Vermilion County by Hiram W. Beck with and the later one by Miss Lottie Jones, the Centennial Book by Clint Clay Tilton, and the History of Hoopeston, by S. V. Cox, published by the chronicle-herald, have been sources of considerable material, as well as have been the files of the Commercial News, the Morning Press, and other old newspaper files. If this history proves of interest to the present genera tion, and a source of study and reference for future generations, the writer will feel repaid a hundred fold for the time and effort expended.
