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.
