Excerpt from Who's Who in Illinois, Vol. 1: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Men and Women of the Commonwealth, a Compilation of State-Wide Scope, Augmented by Integration of Selected Biographees to Encompass Areas Contiguous or Otherwise Appropriate Under Contemporary Regionalism For the building of this new volume every proper source of available names has been drawn upon, and every reasonable effort has been made to procure the requisite data from persons deemed eligible for inclusion in keeping with the discriminating standard fixed for admission. Nevertheless, names which should have been included are missing; but in almost every instance the omission is not due to inadvertence or lack of effort on the part of those responsible for the preparation of material for the book. As a rule, such omissions are the result of failure on the part of the persons invited to provide the necessary facts. However, the great majority of such invitations were promptly accepted, and other helpful cooperative. Courtesies were freely extended. For these grateful thanks are hereby extended.
