Excerpt from History of the Churches and Ministers: Connected With the Presbyterian and Congregational Convention of Wisconsin, and of the Operations of the American Home Missionary Society, in the State, for the Past Ten Years This work is published by request of the Presbyterian and Congregational General Convention of Wisconsin. The Committee of Publication, whose names are hereto annexed, was appointed by the Convention. The labor of preparing it has devolved mainly on the Rev. Dexter Clary. It is the result of an extended statement made by him, as Agent of the American Home Missionary Society, to the Convention, of his labors the past ten years. Deeming it important that the history of churches and ministers in our connection should be preserved, and that the great benefits received through the instrumentalily of Home Missions should be on record, the Agent was requested so to extend the statement as to make it answer these ends. A similar History, extending from the first work of Home Missions, and the first organization of churches in Wisconsin, to the close of 1850, was prepared by Rev. Stephen Peet, the first Agent of the American Home Missionary Society on this field, and published by request of the Convention. The present work commences where that closed, and is a continuation of it, varying somewhat, because of the changes that have taken place. It also gives greater prominence to Home Missions.
