Notes on sources:
Much of the information here is gleaned from obituaries, Polk city directories, Sanborn maps, and published histories of Marinette. Special thanks
go to Mr. Robert G. Shaw (local historian & friend), the Stephenson Public Library, and the Marinette County Historical Society. Because of the
nature of American society in the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth century, obituaries of the women who lived on Riverside Avenue often do
not emphasize their specific contributions to the development of the community. If you would like specific source information or if you know of
additional information pertaining to what has been written here, please contact us.
