Excerpt from Church at Libertyville: As Seen by Thomas Bradley But I must explain how it happens that I am writing about the Libertyville church. For thirty years, from 1868, when I came to Libertyville to engage in business, until 1898, when I retired from business and re moved to another City to make my home, I was an active member Of this church. Having leisure now I find my mind dwell ing upon the experiences Of those years, and it has occurred to me that others might be interested in some Of the things which interest me SO much. I do not want to gossip about my Old friends, but I have a feeling that they are friends who are worth knowing, and that it will be Of profit to others to become acquainted with them.
