1911/1912 Alumnae Register of Rockford College, Rockford, Illinois, names from 1854 to 1911; Classes 1877-1884



1911/1912 booklet, Volume 1-2, Number 58 of the Alumnae Register of Rockford College, Rockford, Illinois. Alumnae from the Classes of 1854 to 1911 are listed, with the names, occupations or husbands' names, and addresses.   This may not be a complete listing, as it may have depended upon whether or not the alumna (or relative or friend) took steps to update the college of her status.


There's a separate section at the end of the Register for the Graduates of the Music Department from 1862 to 1911 - check future posts.

In this issue, I'll list the alumnae from Classes 1877 to 1884.    I was interested to see Jane Addams in the Class of 1881, giving her occupation as Head Worker at Hull House, Chicago.

Stayed tuned as I work my way through the booklet of 24 pages to the Class of 1911.  This is the fourth installment.  The first installment dealt with the Classes 1854 to 1860; the second with Classes 1861 to 1868 ; the third with Classes 1868 to 1876 - check the blog archives.

    1. Sorry, I don't. Somehow this register ended up in my possession, and I decided to post the names. However, not knowing how much information on your grandmother you already have and how familiar you are with family history research - if you're just starting out, I'd recommend FamilySearch.org and lots of google searches, all free. There's also Ancestry.com, which is a subscription service, but you can use it for free at many libraries and also at Family History Centers, which also have access to some of the other subscription sites. You can find the nearest Family History Center here: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Introduction_to_LDS_Family_History_Centers
      Good luck!

    1. Sorry, no. But you could try searching on FamilySearch.org - it's wonderful, and, even better, it's free.

  3. Thank you for publishing this. This has helped me solidify the relationship between Jane Addams and Phila Pope (Campbell), whom I am researching regarding her activities in Monte Vista and Denver Colorado, the Chautauqua movement, and later in San Diego until her death there in 1942. I would appreciate any information that regards Phila D Pope. Regarding the others: There is some additional information in Jane Addams memoirs...The Selected Papers of Jane Addams. This should be an easy internet search for anyone interested.

    1. Oh, glad this helped! I've collected a lot of school memorabilia and am putting it online bit by bit. Hope someone reads your comment and has more information for you. If you are writing, or have written about Phila, please post the link.
