Kenosha starts this century one OF
the piant little cities of the Northwest.
It would be impossible TO review the
story of the history of Kenosha during
the century, but it has been one or
progress and un-exampled prosperity.
one hundred years ago today the
site of Kenosha was bowling wilder
ness, but today, through the sturdy eff
torts of the pioneers, and through the
efforts of those who have taken up the
work laid down by those willing hands,
she stands a peer of any city on the
Lake shore.
That hundred years has brought
great changes in Kenosha. Old South
mort arose from wilderness IN 1885,
only to give way twenty years later to
Kenosha, which, in the half century,
has grown from country village to
the dignity of a city. Her future holds
even greater triumphs, and her citizens
will welcome the new century tonight
with the assurance that before the
next generation has passed away ke-
nosha will be the queen city OF Lake
Michigan.
