Excerpt from The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Wisconsin: List of Officers and Members, Including Pedigrees and a Record of the Services Performed by Ancestors in the Wars of the Colonies On April 26, 1897, a meeting was held in Kenosha, Wis., for the purpose of organizing a Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Wisconsin. At this meeting a letter was read from the Secretary General of the General Society of Colonial Wars, authorizing the formation of a Society of Colonial Wars in this state, and acting upon that authority a preliminary organization was effected and the Constitution of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Massachusetts, with one or two changes, was temporarily adopted, and officers were elected to serve until the first General Court. On July 28, 1897, the first Special Court of the Society was held in Milwaukee and Articles of Incorporation were signed, all the officers being re-elected to serve until the date of the first General Court mentioned in the Articles of Incorporation. At a meeting of the Council held in Milwaukee on October 26, 1897, the By-Laws of the Society were adopted. The first General Court of the Society was held on December 22, 1897, when officers for the ensuing year were elected. Immediately after the adjournment of the Court, the first annual dinner of the Society was held at Hotel Pfister, ten members being present and four guests of the Society. At a meeting of the Council held January 14, 1898, it was unanimously voted to publish the first Year Book of the Society.
