Excerpt from History of Monroe County, Wisconsin: Past and Present, Including an Account of the Cities, Towns and Villages of the County To properly and adequately write the History of Monroe County has been a task encompassed with tremendous difficulties it has been accomplished after laborious research and the co-opera tion of many of its oldest citizens, whose aid the editors acknowledge most gratefully, for without it some parts of this work would have been impossible. Despite its difficulties its preparation has been fraught with much interest, which grew as the work progressed; Monroe County from its humble beginning having been, through the untiring energy and perseverance of its pioneers, brought to be one of the finest counties in the State of '\visc0nsin, holds indeed a wonderful story of progress; its two cities, built to stay, whose schools, churches and institutions are equal to any in the state, whose people are progressive and possess a fine sense of civic pride are alone worthy of the efforts of the historian; in addition to that its beautiful little villages, its rich agricultural resources and dairying interests place it in the front rank in many respects.
