History Of The Town Of Worthington PDF Download

Excerpt from History of the Town of Worthington Feeling that the unrecorded history of one's native town, like the unmarked graves of parents, evidences both the want of a proper respect and a filial gratitude, we commenced the following chapters, more from a sense of duty than from motives less worthy of regard. To this sense of duty was soon added the virtue of necessity, which so often causes a person to hazard that before the public eye which no motives otherwise could have induced, and no ambition could have prompted. Taking advantage, therefore, of the recollection of the living and the records of the dead, we place before the people of Worthington a history of their town, asking for its brevity, its imperfections, and its errors, that charity of criticism which a thoughtful consideration of the many difficulties and disadvantages under which it was written, will naturally suggest.
