Outagamie County Pioneers

 

Taken from Pioneers of Outagamie County by Elihu Spencer, 1895 

On February 22, 1872, the first meeting of the Outagamie County Pioneer Association was held at the hall of J.C. Smith in the city of Appleton.Daniel Huntley made a motion for the adoption of the following resolution:  “That a list of the names of all heads of families in the meeting and of all such as are here, but have no families, together with the year and month in which each one became an actual resident of the territory now embraced in Outagamie County, and also the post office address of each be taken, commencing immediately with those now present and continuing as they come through the day, and that a committee of  three be appointed whose special duty it shall be to prepare such a list.”   (page 6) 

It was so resolved and the chair appointed Huntley, Carl Breiterick and L.L. Randall as the committee.  Spencer added remarks to the list at later date.  Here is the list.
