Excerpt from A History of the County of Du Page, Illinois: Containing an Account of Its Early Settlement and Present Advantages, a Separate History of the Several Towns, Including Notices of Religious Organizations, Education, Agriculture, and Manufactures, With the Names and Some Account of the First Settlers The present chapter is designed to embody the leading incidents connected with the early settlement of DU page County, and embraces a period of nearly three years. It may be for the benefit of some to state, that this narrative does not disclose a succession of disastrous chances, nor is it fraught with mov ing accidents by flood and field, and he who penises these pages, thinking to derive gratification from such sources, will undoubtedly be disappointed. The pioneers of our county are fast passing from us, and soon there will none remain to tell the story of their hardships.
