History Of Acworth

Excerpt from History of Acworth: With the Proceedings of the Centennial Anniversary, Genealogical Records, and Register of Farms It is believed that the pledge given the subscribers to the "History of Acworth" has been redeemed. As fall a report as possible has been made of the doings and sayings of the Centennial Anniversary, only two speeches being omitted. These were not reported to the compiler. The early history of the town has been made as full as the materials at hand would allow. Great pains have been taken to make the list of the owners of homesteads and the genealogical records accurate. Where families have taken the trouble to send in their family records, they will probably find but few mistakes. Sketches of professional men, natives of the town, are given so far as known. In many cases materials have not been at hand to make as full sketches as desirable, and in other cases the scissors have been freely used, both in genealogical records and sketches, that a disproportionate space might not be occupied. Comparatively few, and very brief sketches of the early inhabitants have been prepared, partly for want of materials, but more especially because, while the general standard of energy and thrift has always been high, there never has been an aristocracy of wealth or of worth - or rather the aristocracy of worth have been so numerous, and there has been such a sameness in their characteristics, induced by similarity of training, that it is impossible to select a few, without being unjust to the many necessarily passed over in silence. It has been found necessary to adopt as a rule, that no sketches of the present inhabitants of the town should be written, for the same reason. The book has been open for all to contribute portraits, who desired. But few likenesses of the early settlers could be procured, which fact we deeply regret.
