			CONSTITUTION AND OBJECTS OF THE
			ASSOCIATION

			The following is a copy of the Constitution adopted in 1865 and as amended
			subsequently in that year, and also on December 17, 1868, and June 28, 1894.

			PREAMBLE.

			Whereas, In the Providence of God we became pioneers
			in the settlement of the rich and fertile County of
			Dubuque, in the State of Iowa; and

			Whereas, The number of Early Settlers is fast decreasing,
			and many of us will soon go to that bourne from whence
			no traveler returns; and

			Whereas, We desire to gather and preserve the memory
			of a settlement that has grown so rapidly and has been
			so abundantly prospered; and believing that recollections
			of the past, the happiness of the present, and the hopes
			of the future, should unite us as a band of brothers,
			we have formed an Association and now adopt this
			Constitution:

			CONSTITUTION.

			Article 1. This Association shall be known and
			designated as The Early Settlers' Association
			of Dubuque County.
			Article 2. The officers shall be a President, five Vice-Presidents, a
			Secretary and a Treasurer, who shall be chosen annually at a meeting in
			June. Special Meetings may be held by adjournment, by call of the President,
			or on the request of five members.
			Article 3. All persons who are now residents of Dubuque County, and who
			were in the Upper Mississippi Lead Region for the last twenty-five years
			are eligible to membership, and shall be considered members after signing
			the Constitution, or authorizing the enrolling of their names.
			Article 4. The membership fee shall be one dollar. Ladies may become members
			without cost.
			Article 5. The funds of the Association shall be used for defraying
			incidental expenses, for biographies, and for such other purposes as the
			Association may direct.

			Among the objects of this Association are the following: To collect data,
			memoranda and historical facts, referring to the early history of Dubuque
			City and County.
			To attend funerals of deceased members in a body, and by occasional social
			meetings to revive the recollections and preserve the memory of the scenes,
			events and incidents for the last sixty-one years.
			To encourage the publication of a proper history of Dubuque.
			To collect the photographs and portraits, as far as possible, of all the
			members of the Association.
			To have a room where the early settlers of Dubuque and their visiting
			friends may meet at any time and amuse themselves by examining the files
			of old newspapers of Dubuque, the relics collected, a historical library
			referring to the Northwestern states, and give such information to the
			Secretary as will enable him to perfect the records of the early history
			of Dubuque County, for publication.
			The donation of a photograph is at the option of the member. The
			Association will thank any member, or other person, for any relics,
			curiosities, old books, papers, or letters, which may be of interest
			to the collection or add to the history of early settlements.
			All members of the Association, and others interested in the objects
			stated, are invited to call and receive a copy of the Constitution and
			also to sign their names to the list of members, if entitled to do so,
			at the office of the Secretary.
