Book Title: HISTORY OF OCEANA CO., CHICAGO, H.R. PAGE & COMPANY, 1882

The first pure-bred Essex was imported by H. Tower, in 1868, and from his the 
breed has been widely disseminated.

About 1870, Josiah Russell imported a pair of of Bershires.  The next three 
imported by Mr. Browne, and then by Hubbard, Hosmer & Co., and now they are 
scattered all over the county.  Mr. Browne is the most extensive breeder, and 
some of the sires from which his are derived have cost $1,000.

The first Chester Whites were imported in 1870 by D. W. Crosby, and the next 
in 1881, by T. S. Gurney.
