Excerpt from History of Hancock County, Indiana, From Its Earliest Settlement by the "Pale Face," in 1818, Down to 1882: Illustrated With ws, Maps, Charts, Plats, Portraits, Sketches and Diagrams
The sketch of Westland Church and school contained herein was furnished by John Brown, an old citizen, and the only man living who knew all the facts, and in the absence of the records, which were burned, could furnish the same, and he is now no more on earth, save in mem ory. Other instances might be cited. Had the publication of the work been postponed a few years, much of the rarest and best history of the county would have been forever lost. Besides, it is a duty we owe to the memory of the noble fathers who have cleared the forests, made the roads. And prepared this fair land for our habitation, to preserve a record of their lives and noble acts.
