History of DeKalb County
The works
which have been helpful are named where quoted. Very valuable,
indeed, have been two musty account books referred to repeatedly
herein ; they have helped so much to illuminate a bygone time.
The first is that of the Liberty physician and merchant,
Ebenezer Wright, dated from April 22, 1832, to June 18, 3 1833.
The second belonged to Dr. John W. Overall, of Alexandria, and
dates from 1830 to 1834, but was afterwards used by his father.
Col. Abraham Overall. While I never had much fondness for
figures, these two documents, with all that they reveal in and
between the lines, proved as interesting as romance. I must be
pardoned for referring to them so often as well as for intruding
my own recollections. Many individuals have offered data and
suggestions.
