Excerpt from Early Days in Auburn Dale: A Village Chronicle of Two Centuries, 1665-1870, Containing Reminiscences of Early Settlers The suggestion for this little book came from a study of local history, and a morning on "Auburndale" at the Review Club. In preparing for this morning, some of us began to realize, for the first time, how much of historical interest Auburndale offered, and how many were the interwoven threads of reminiscence and narrative that could be followed now, but would soon be lost sight of forever. To weave these threads together into some sort of an old-time fabric which would record the events of early village life while those were still living who remembered its beginnings, was the first motive in the publishing of this brief history. From that motive, others have grown, with the desire to trace the threads further and further back to their earliest source. The study of ancient records has brought to light many interesting facts which are connected with the development of our country as well as of our village. The region which is now Auburndale was settled by pioneers long before the American Revolution, and there are houses still standing here which were the homes of men and women who not only carried on a courageous struggle with nature in the wilderness, but who helped to shape the ideals and the political institutions of our state and so of our nation. Whatever value this little book may have is due to the hearty co-operation and ready response of all the early settlers who could be reached, and to the investigations of later residents.
