Thompson’s Richland County Wisconsin Cemetery Guide
(Last Updated September 26, 2009)
Guide/Legend for Thompson's Richland County Wisconsin Cemeteries
Short History of Project
The THOMPSON Richland County, WI cemetery project started with the Richland Center and Saint Mary's cemeteries, located in Richland Center, in Oct/1993, which was completed in Dec/1994. Starting in Dec/1994, township cemeteries data from the book "HERE THEY SLEEP" was transferred into this database and updated. I presented the Richland County Cemeteries project to the Richland County Historical Society in May/1997.These records, plus the maiden name cross-reference were printed and placed in paper form at the Richland County History Room, which is located on the 2nd floor in the Brewer Library (325 N.Central Avenue, Richland Center, WI. 53581) in Sept/1996.
In about 2000, this website was offered by Lori Manning for the home of my project and since that time and
to date my cemetery records and photographs have been added. Along with links to map data offered by Dennis
Cook and Lori Manning's Township pages.This project is never ending and electronic updates are made available to the Richland County History Room and this website, on a ongoing bases.
What THOMPSON's Cemeteries are and are not.
This project is NOT cemetery records only! I used the title THOMPSON's cemeteries, to point out this fact, so pure researchers are not lead to believe that all the data is available at the burial site.The data comes from cemetery data, Register of Deeds records (mainly death records), Obituaries (mainly the local paper), Richland County History Room (many sources), local history books (mainly the 1884, 1906 and 1986 Histories of Richland Co.) and family researchers. Also from feedback from people like you that find errors and provide additional information.
Most of the additional data, from outside the cemetery source is maiden names, marriages and dates of marriages, parents and full dates.
Each cemetery in at one of these levels.
DRAFT = The data is what was originally listed (normally "Here They Sleep")
and has NOT had a review.
REVIEWED = The data has be fully reviewed with all the resources available and
and is posted with that date.
FINAL = If there is such a thing as final! Is data that is fully reviewed
and the photographs are complete. FINAL is final only to the date
listed as we all know that changes occur daily.My plan is to FINALIZE all Richland County, WI burial sites. This is many years away, but I feel that it is best to upload all my available records (even if DRAFT) for your use, but remember as with any of your research, that you should always proof your own data.
