Hello Brenda I will be going to the Dodge County courthouse in Juneau in 3 or 4 weeks if you need any look-ups. The courthouse burned down in 1877 so there will be nothing before about 1880. Let me know if you need any information after 1880 for birth's, marriage or death's.

Hello Brenda I was at the Dodge County Courthouse the other day. I couldn't find anything on the death of Frank Thorpe or Julia Brooks Thorpe. The only Thorpe's I found in the death records were Clara died in 1924, Witte died in 1926, Mary A. died in 1910, Mary A. died in 1906 and Benner died in 1899.
