Wouldn't it mean the local public school? -----Original Message----- From: candismom@aol.com [mailto:candismom@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 3:58 PM To: ILSTANNE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILSTANNE] RE: Regnier/Graveline Thanks! Next question. Any idea what Community School Teacher might mean in the context of those times? I am having trouble finding what happened to Pierre Beck as he doesn't appear in the 1870 census anywhere that I can find (wife does in Iroquois). While I can track much of the family and events for the 1860's and 1870's through church records he just seems to disappear. Pike's Peak? Now there is an interesting occupation!

It lists his occupation as Com Sch Teach. I would guess that to be Community School Teacher. There were 2 living in Kankakee that year. Bourbonnias did not have St. Viatruse College listed that year. Another interesting occupation was that there were quite a number of young men whose occupation was listed as "gone to Pike's Peak". -Cyndi -----Original Message----- From: Candismom@aol.com [mailto:Candismom@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 9:50 PM To: ILSTANNE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILSTANNE] RE: Regnier/Graveline My family is the Beck/Clouatre line but wondering if St. Viatruse College or Notre Dame Academy were functioning in 1860? Or any other known schools? My gggrandfather Pierre Beck is listed as "schoolteacher" in 1860 census? Anyone have any ideas?
