of the county have been secured to represent the type of our
ancestors. Some of these pictures were reproduced from da-
guerreotypes, or "tintypes," as they are frequently termed. This
accounts for the indistinct details of a few of the pictures. Some
of the portraits represent more recent photography. One will
observe that the early-day people dressed differently from the
people of the present day.
Some of the cities and towns of Denton County are inade-
quately represented. This is due to the author's inability to en-
list the interest and cooperation of individuals who were in posi-
tion to furnish required data, for which repeated requests were
made.
It has been impossible to verify the orthography of numerous
proper names. Some names were furnished by individuals who
had borne them in memory for many years, anid the verification

To Mr. W. C. Edwards, editor of the Denton Record-
Chronicle, grateful acknowledgments are due for assistance in
securing data for this work, for the use of a number of valuable
cuts, and for other courtesies. For data of value acknowledg-
ment is made to Mr. C. A. Williams and to many others. For
service, in the form of research and assistance in reading proof,
appreciation is due to Mr. James D. Baldwin. Mr. William H.
McNitzky and his corps of assistants who have given careful at-
tention to the mechanical details of this work, have, in this
manner, contributed much to the book.
To the members of the Subscription Committee of the Old
Settlers' and Veterans' Association of Denton County profound
gratitude is due. A labor of love has been their solicitation of
subscriptions. Prompted by the desire to make possible the is-
suance of this history, a number of loyal and energetic individuals
have been unusually active, and correspondingly successful, in
securing subscriptions. To the unselfish activity of these in-
dividuals is due a great measure of credit for these printed pages.
Although not a member of the Subscription Committee, Mr. A. L.
