Excerpt from The History of Ceres and Its Near Vicinity, From Its Early Settlement in 1798 to the Present The first chapter of this history was written by Mrs. Mann on request of the Historical Society of Portville. They requested her to continue the work and she began on the second chapter, but could not go on with it, but requested me to do so. I finished up the chapter in the brief way I supposed was designed, and it remained so for several years, when the matter was again brought up and it seemed desirable to bring it down to the present, with a brief mention of the families who had lived here many years, or were in any way prominent in the community. I am well aware that my work is imperfectly done, but let him who criticises take the material and do better. Much has been hunted up with considerable labor, and of course much has been omitted through forget-fullness, and perhaps something put in that should not be.
