Time Machine Trip to September 1907

September 6, 1907
 E. G. Burt and his carload of western horses arrived in the city Wednesday and anyone interested can look them over. These are all gentle stock, good colors and all in good condition.

 Parents who neglected and fail to have their children attend school regularly are liable to a fine of from $5 to $50 every time a complaint is lodged under the change in law passed by the state legislature. The law included children 7 to 14 years of age and 14 to 16 when not employed.  

September 13, 1907
Andrew C. Black, age 83 one of the earliest pioneers of Kaukauna, died at his home on the northside Thursday morning. Black was a native of Ohio and in 1846 at the age of 21 years made his way to Wisconsin. He made his way to Milwaukee then walked to Kaukauna area and purchased 256 acres being part of the property which he had now lived on. He will be interned at Kelso cemetery by the side of his wife and nine children who preceded him.

Twenty-five men wanted for sewer work in Kaukauna at once. Wages $2.00 per day.

If you want to catch an interurban car at some country crossing at night do not fail to strike a match, otherwise you may get left as it is impossible for the motorman to see more than a few feet ahead of the car.

New York – Sept. 12 - The Lusitania crosses the Ocean in 5 days, a new record.

Leonard Spielberg, a wealthy farmer of the town of Dale, was blown to atoms by the explosion of several sticks of dynamite that he was carrying in his pocket while blasting stumps.

The annual fall Kermis at Hollandtown will take place at Van Abel’s hall Monday evening October 7. Admission 25 cents.

September 27, 1907
The immense blasting operations at the old Badger mill site can be best realized when you stand on the other side of the canal. It is a great undertaking to build a water power on so large a scale. The width and depth of the opening is nearly sufficient to take in the entire flow of the Fox river.


The new automobile law requires that all machines bear number in front and well as in the rear. It is also necessary for all chauffeurs to be licensed.
