TOWN OF THORP SCHOOL CENSUS DATAGeneral Comments and Transcriber's NotesTranscriptions of selected Township of Thorp and one joint Thorp-Withee School District have been posted. They are, in some respects, still works in progress as some names may be spelled incorrectly, although care was taken to reflect spellings as they appeared in the census forms. As we all know, names can be spelled a variety of ways, often in the same document. Anyone who can verify corrections is encouraged to bring them to our attention. The Township of Thorp had seven school districts, although one of those was a Joint District physically located in the Township of Withee but drawing students from both. Their District Numbers, names and locations were as follows:
As we went through the transcription process, it was interesting to note the ebb and flow of first names. Many occurred with regularity, some seemed to cycle through generations based on grand parent or parent names, some seemed clearly following neighbors, and some handful occurred only once in the 50-60 year period. As time permits, we may well eventually create a First Name X Year Matrix to gain a better appreciation of family naming proclivities – although it will be a chore to avoid double counting. Unquestionably a “gee whiz” project, we are curious nonetheless!
