Excerpt from Copyright, Mahaska

I remember a time when every man or woman I knew was Older than myself; now nearly every man and woman I know are younger than myself. Only here and there a feeble, bent and white-haired man or woman who have seen the snows of more winters or the waving corn and green meadows of more summers than I have.

I have seen a time when I thought a person Old at forty. I have lived to see the time when men and women who are not beyond forty seem hardly to have arrived at mature manhood or womanhood.

Three score and eleven years seem a time late in life to undertake the task Of writing for the perusal of the present generation my recollections of the early settling of Mahaska County, and their ancestors who were the early settlers, but that is what I propose to do if the Lord spares my life and mental faculties.
