Présentation de l'éditeur
On May 15, 1891, the following report was made to the Labette County Historical Society, by a committee that had theretofore been appointed :T othe Labette County Historical Society: We, your committee appointed to consider and report upon the advisability of preparing and publishing a history of our county, having had the same under consideration, report and recommend as follows :1st. We believe the time has come when, for the general good, the history of Labette county should be collected and put in shape for use and preservation. 3d. That to secure such preparation, one person should be selected and appointed as historian, and everyone should be requested to contribute such facts and information as are within his or her knowledge which will help to make the history accurate and complete. 3d. We recommend that Hon. Nelson Case be appointed county historian, and invited to undertake the work of writing a history of this county at as early a day as practicable, to be submitted to the county society for its approval. 4th. For the successful carrying out of the proposed undertaking, everyone is invited to give such assistance as is within his or her power. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. B. Cook, Angell Matthewsox, Mild Hildreth, Committee. This report was unanimously adopted by the Society. In compliance with the request therein contained, I soon entered upon the task of gathering information, with the hope of having the work completed within a year. During most of the following winter, in which I had expected to do the main part of the work, family afflictions prevented my accomplishing anything to speak of.
