S. H. Baumgartner Brief Historical Sketches of Seven Generations

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The author spent much time and hard labor to accomplish this. It required the exercise of much patience and forbearance. Some of the relatives were either loath to respond to the compiler's questions, or were too busily engaged in their worldly pursuits to give this matter careful and prompt attention. Some would not answer at all, and information concerning them had to be gathered the best way one could. And is therefore necessarily meager. Some may have formed the idea that nothing of interest transpired in their life that is worthy of notice or preservation. But though our lives be ever so humble, ordinary or uneventful. One can never foresee or foretell future developments, or what might be of great interest for future generations.
