Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Centennial Biographical History of Champaign County, Ohio: Illustrated Champaign County, Ohio, has sustained within its confines men who have been prominent in public affairs and great industrial enterprises for almost a century. The annals teem with the records of strong and noble manhood, and, as Sumner has said, the true grandeur of nations is in those qualities which constitute the greatness of the individual. The final causes which shape the fortunes of individ uals and the destinies of States are often the same. They are usually remote and obscure, and their in uence scarcely perceived until manifestly declared by results. That nation is the greatest which produces the greatest and most manly men and faithful women; and the intrinsic safety of a community depends not so much upon methods as upon that normal development from the deep resources of which proceeds all that is precious and permanent in life. But such a result may not consciously be contemplated by the actors in the great social drama. Pursuing each his personal good by exalted means, they work out as a logical result.
