Uncovered Kaukauna photos need captions
Historical society seeks information through Web site
KAUKAUNA - In his youth, Gene Ploetz heard plenty about his parents' day-to-day lives in this community.
He filed many of those stories in his memory bank. Interest in the community's olden times followed him as he went into teaching history at Kaukauna High School where, over his tenure of 35 years, he asked scores of students to indulge him with their families' memories.
Ploetz, 76, retired from the classroom in the 1990s, but more than two decades later, his work to document Kaukauna's historical trajectory from the early 1800s to the present is unending.
Ploetz and the Kaukauna Area Historical Society, of which he is a founding member, have more than 2,000 old photos. Half have yet to be identified.
The photos run the gamut: There's the photo of several couples and children sitting on porch steps. Another one, dating from 1923, shows a uniformed baseball team from Kaukauna. Members want to know who the players were.
"I'd give a nickel for every person who's told me, 'You've got to help us nail this down, Gene. You can't go without doing it first,'" he said.
Craig Lahm inherited the photo collection when he became the Kaukauna Public Library's director in 1973. Over the years, the pile grew larger.
"We probably should have done this 30 years ago, maybe 50 years ago," says Lahm, who in his retirement started to organize the photos in a way the public could see them online.
Under his direction, the group set up a blog. Viewers with information can leave comments.
Maggie Waggoner, the library's director, says it makes sense that Kaukauna would mount a large project to piece together a part of the state's history.
"Kaukauna is one of the oldest communities," she said.
Missionaries and French fur traders settled the area in the 1600s. It was on the main line of the Chicago and North Western Railway in the 1860s.
As historical society members have learned, not all the photos are of Kaukauna. Some are of people from, and places in, Neenah, Little Chute and the Town of Kaukauna.
Waggoner recently received an e-mail from a woman in New York, who had believed one of her relatives grew up in Ohio. She found his photo in the Kaukauna Web site.
"That's the kind of stuff we get all the time," Waggoner said.
