work. It has linked the family much closer together.

Joseph O. Moore, Hillsboro, Tex.---I am delighted with the book, and must say I appreciate it more than I ever thought before I saw it.

Miss Rosa L Freney, Delmar, Del.---The history is a source of the greatest pleasure, and I never look at it that I do not think of the vast amount of labor, time and patience it has required to complete it. If all who are enrolled in it, prize it even half as highly as I do, you may feel well repaid.

Fitzhugh Burton, Tuscaloosa, Ala.---I am greatly pleased to have so valuable a book, and think we all owe you a large sum of gratitude for giving us such a splendid history of the Hearne family.

Will D. Upshaw, "Earnest Willie," Atlanta, Ga.---Your Hearne history is a grand monument to your faithful labor, and a charming mirror of ancestral history and commendable family pride.

Mrs Whitetta Moss, Kenomo, Mo.---It is certainly grand. You have reared a monument that will be appreciated for generations to come. There are many noble characters in it.

Wm. W. Adams, Lexington, Ky.---I appreciate the history far beyond its cost. The relationship will find in it a very great treasure.

Mrs. Lavinia A. Jones, Philadelphia, Pa.---I think more of it than I can express to you. Every page is full of interest, and we all owe you many thanks for the time and labor you have bestowed upon it.

Judge Rufus D. Hearn, Arkadelphia, Ark.---I enclose you check, which is the least of our obligations to you. We have reaped genuine pleasure from perusing it and studying the many faces of our large and widely separated family, whose pictures are found therein.

Rev. A. J. Hearne, Yantley Creek, Ala.---The history is a valuable treasure. I am both surprised and gratified, for it far surpasses my expectations. I had not the slightest conception of the magnitude of the contents of the book.

Elder W. G. Hearne, Eldorado Springs, Mo.---The history is unique, well arranged and full of interest, and I would not be without it. I think more of the name and family than ever before. It brings me in touch with men of ability and character of whom I had never heard, and with one impulse, lifts the family higher in my estimation.
