Would it be possible to find out what was written about the Colby's 100 years ago?

Kathleen, You can order the old Thorp papers via inter-library loan. Click on the link below to find the paper you'd like to order and then take that link to a library which has a micro-film reader and they can order it for you to read.  If you do order, be sure to consider typing up a few articles just as a random act of kindness. Everyone seems to enjoy them so much. Also, we can now do lookups for many of the Thorp cemeteries. We aren't yet ready to post them, but we have lots of information compiled already.  Good Luck!  Stan
