Homage to Joseph Addison
The History of Addison County by H.P. Smith, 1886, D. Mason and Co. states that Addison County "...was named in honor of Joseph Addison, the English author..." The Addison family continues to thrive in England and has written us with the information that Joseph lived from 1672 to 1719 and left these words for us: Happiness is something to do, something to love, something to hope for! Addison is buried in Westminster Abby.
