In looking over the early history of the Belleville community, one 

 finds outstanding names among the early settlers which occur again 

 and again in the historical records and are still to be found in con- 

 nection with certain neighborhoods and farms. If it has been a 

 uniform custom for each farm to part with some of its best young 

 people, it has also been customary for it to retain some of its strongest 

 personalities. 



Indeed, it is not the names of the migrants who have become 

 famous which are most on the tongues and in the hearts of the people 

 of the community, but rather the names of the stay-at-homes, the 

 farmers, doctors, preachers, and teachers, who. born and reared in 

 their midst, have devoted their lives to the interests of the community.
