With grateful thanks we acknowledge the efforts
of the following individuals and value of the fol-
lowing reference courses, without whose help this
summary of the historical highlights of the first
century of existence of the Town of Stettin would
have been impossible:
Stettin Lions Club, for initiating the interest
and action which led to this centennial ob-
servance.
Town of Stettin officials and citizens.
Clarence J. Poeske, president of the Stettin
Lions Club, for many hours of work in
compiling and editing this book.
Frank Plano, for historical summary.
Earl Street and other members of the Town
of Weston Centennial Committee, for in-
valuable assistance.
"History of Marathon County," published in
1913 by Judge Louis Marchetti.
"History of Northern Wisconsin," published
in 1881 by the Western Historical Society.
Wausau Daily Record-Herald.
Wausau Public Library.
Marathon County Historical Society.
We hope this book will preserve for Town of
Stettin residents at least a small portion of the
interesting heritage which is theirs. We hope, too,
that it may serve as a reference for future genera-
tions, that they might know of the contributions
of Stettin's pioneers and today's residents in trans-
forming the wilderness to today's modem environ-
ment.
The Stettin Centennial, Inc., observance is a non-
profit venture. Any funds realized will be equally
divided between activities for children and youth
of the township and for the Lions Camp for the
Blind, Rosholt, Wis.
