1878 Gazetteer and Directory
PREFACE.
The undersigned takes pleasure in presenting this the first Gazetteer and DIRECTORY of Jackson County, Iowa, and believes it will be found as correct and reliable as any similar work published in this State.
Unsparing efforts and great care have been taken to render it in every way a practical work of reference.
Most cordial thanks are extended to the mercantile and professional gentlemen of the county, who have so liberally patronized the work, by their advertisements.
The compiler desires particularly to accord his grateful acknowledgments for valuable assistance, and other courtesies rendered by A. J. House, late County Auditor; W. C. Swigart, editor Jackson Sentinel; Russell Perham, Esq.; Mott Watson, Esq., and Capt. W. A. Warren, of Bellevue.
In conclusion there remains one pleasant duty to discharge, that of making honorable mention of the GAZETTE PRINTING COMPANY, and in particular of Mr. H. C. Marsh, the efficient superintendent, whose practical skill in the typographic art has produced a work, at once a credit to themselves and the publisher. F. E. OWEN
