URGES ERECTION
Of MEMORIALS

Before the Mems SundsY Evening
club on Sunday evening, Rev. F. A.
Gilmore of Madison gave review, rich
in historic interest, of the state of
Wisconsin. He urged the erection
of many memorials to marx the deeds
and achievements en- Badger soil.
He said the interest now being
taken in our past is one sign of ad-
vancing culture. But for the life of
yesterday the life of today would not
BE- what 1t is; it is this knowledge
which increases our interest in all
human happiness and particularly in
our local and personal history. Who
first bore our family name? Where
did they go or what did they do? Who
first titled the fields and made the
houses and roads where we live?
Where was the first school-house,
church and mill?
He spoke of the efforts of the State
Historical society and other organiza-
tions in marking important sites and
Of the need Of more work to be done
as urged by Miss Julia A. Lapham in
a paper read in 1903. Miss Lapham said
at that time that the lack of reverence
for the past was a national sin. Since
then many monuments and markers
have been placed and great interest
has been aroused.
Mr.. Gilmore divided the history Of
the state into four periods:
The days of the Indian.
Occupation of the French beginning
with 1884
The English from 1863 to 1920.
Incoming of American pioneers.
To mark the important places of the
first period % tablets and monuments
have been erected, the Yellow Thun-
der pillar and the Man Mound tablet
at Baraboo being among them; six in
the second period; four in the third
and fourteen in the fourth, making
IOFGy-S6V6n IN ali.
The speaker said that much work
remained to be done. Indian Mounds,
trails, White Crows village site,
Wisconsin Heights battle field, grave
of Glory of the Morning, Black Hawks
trail, where the Republican party
was born, where the first paper was
In the state, where the
first house was built in every city and
scores of others should be preserved by
memorials.
These places will grow more sig
nifcant every year. These first en-
terprises were the seed-pots from
which have blossomed the larger and
richer life which we enjoy.
