PERKINS 1908 TO THE OLD SETTLERS OF HYDE COUNTY, WHO HAVE MADE ITS EARLY HISTORY, AND ALSO TO THE LATER SETTLERS AS WELL, WHO ARE AIDING IN MAKING ITS PRESENT HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED PREFACE The compiler of these pages came to Hyde County with his parents in the spring of 1884, then only a few months old, and lived here for several years, and after an absence in Iowa for a few years, returned here in 1905, so that he claims some distinction as an old settler, and feels that he has the authority of the public, and of all interested in the county, to prepare for them these pages, which constitute the history of the county up to the present time. It is always well at certain periods of the ever onward passing of time to preserve records and incidents of the locality where one lives, for there are many things constituting its history, which, unless preserved, will pass into oblivion. Our readers know that we are never looking for perfection in any department of life's labor, and in this history, if it is found that we have omitted something or have unintentionally erred in some statement, let the criticism be sparingly and charitably made.
