Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have been prompted to perform this service by an earnest desire to see woven into permanent record the wonderful story of this wonderful community, for the benefit not only of contempo rary readers, but for future generations as well. I can but hope that my effort will meet with the approval of that intelligent and public-spirited citizenship in whose behalf the work was under taken.
