Excerpt from Gazetteer and Business Directory of Monroe County, N. Y., For 1869-70 That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have been omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. To such as feel aggrieved in consequence of error or omission, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as had been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction. It is also suggested that our patrons Observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory.

Excerpt from Wheatland, Monroe County, New York: A Brief Sketch of Its History The greater part of this History of the Town of Wheatland was ready for printing before the death of the author, which occurred on November 13th, 1906. His friends had often urged that the manuscript be sent to the printer, but he had delayed its publication for the reason that he considered it incomplete, especially in regard to the history of Mumford, Beulah and the west end of the town in general. Since his death additions to some of the chapters have been made from the author's notes and from other authentic sources, and contributions to the early history of Mumford have been given by Miss Margaret Armstrong and Mr. Oliver Allen, Jr., while additional matter relating to Beulah has been prepared by Mrs. Eugene E.Harmon, to all of whom the thanks of the editors are due for their courteous assistance. While the matter presented in this volume does not give in every respect a full and detailed account of Wheatland and of Wheatland's people, yet it is believed to be accurate as far as it goes and sufficiently complete to warrant publication, if for no other purpose than to gratify the author's many friends, and to serve as a solid foundation for some later historian to build upon.
