Excerpt from Incidents and Anecdotes of Early Days and History of Business: In the City and County of Found Du Lac From Early Times to the Present; Personal Reminiscences; Remarkable Events; Election Results; Military History, Etc Time flies; days, weeks, months and years rush into the past with astounding rapidity. Half centuries pass over our heads and we hardly realize it. Every day of these rushing years we are helping, more or less, in the development of events which become history to those who are to follow us. Rushing through the affairs of daily life, absorbed in business, we do not stop to consider the importance of collecting and preserving historical facts and relics, although we concede that simple justice to the old in years who have shaped the history of their time, as well as for the help, guidance and gratification of the young, that a record of important events should be made and relics collected and preserved. In the present condition, many of the interesting and important events in the history of the city and county of Fond du Lac, are practically lost to the people of today because of the widely scattered sources from which they can be obtained and the time requisite for the search. A few relics and curiosities of the early days of the city and county have been collected by private parties, and very many more might be obtained from old residents and the few pioneers who are yet living. Many of these, of peculiar historical interest, as the years pass, may be wholly lost or destroyed. To this extent at least, delay is dangerous and every active citizen unquestionably feels that no further time should be lost in this matter. Important to the Community. - A true record of the time and place of important events, in a form of easy and prompt access, is almost a necessity; when noted enterprises originated and how developed; dates of individual and society efforts in public affairs; when public improvements were entered upon and when completed; dates and results of local elections, and a wide range in the histories of churches and societies.
