Rhodes School
List of Students
(aka River Park)
1888-1894
Submitted by Alice M. Ashley to the ISGS Quarterly XVI, Spring 1984
Transcribed for Genealogy Trails by Valerie Torp
River Park School, District 9, Township 40, Range 12, East of the 3rd Prime Meridian
Cook County, Illinois
We were very lucky to hear from the original transcriber, Ms. Ashley, who adds further information:
River Park is a previous name for River Grove. The name of the school is "Rhodes School."
There are conflicting dates for the beginning of Rhodes school. The book "1882-1982 Melrose Park" states that the school was begun in 1848 by Dr. Rhodes at the intersection of Rhodes and Wrightwood in River Grove. The website for River Grove says the first building was built in 1869. There are two pictures at www.rhodes.K12.il.us that show two differing schools. I would suppose they are 'reincarnations' of the same school. The picture at www.rivergroveschool.org is clearly the better picture.
I had both paternal and maternal ancestry that went to Rhodes school.
My mother went through school there and also taught there after college graduation.
[We look forward to offering more transcriptions from Ms. Ashley!]
