So the History Department of the Marion High School has attempted to save a few stories of these early days in Grant County. We do not claim that all contained in our little booklet is authentic, Old age forgets. And legend is not always truth, but the philosophy of these older people lzas been as a sort of benediction, and a joy has been ours as we followed them into the recesses of memory as they lifted the veil of the past; yea, more than that, we of the now have seen in their dear old faces the Light that fades not, the dawn of 2 Beyond that they are nearing.
