Posted on: EauClaire Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/10700 Surname: ------------------------- Eau Claire county was 'born' in 1856 out of the parent county of Chippewa. I've checked along the counties borders for any signs of Whipple creek and no such luck, but not every creek is identified on my 1878 map. I also checked the map's index for a Whipple Creek post office, and none is listed in this edition [1878]. Eau Claire does have a Whipple Street, and in the 1860s had some prominent businessmen and Civil War soliders of that name. Sorry I can't help you futher. Anita
