The above is a photo of what we believe is the Roger Creek School class
of approximately 1910. Provided Courtesy of Glenn Rasmussen. His father,
Robert Rasmussen, is the third child from the right, front row. Bob
Rasmussen was born in 1903 and, since he appears to be around 6-7 years
old, this photo is of the 1910 vintage.
We cannot identify any of the other participants.
However, the Township of Thorp 1905 Plat Map identifies the following
property owners in Sections 29, 30, 31 & 32 which formed the bulk of
Roger Creek School District in those days:
