1915 Index
Staff and inmates from 1873 – 1915
Historical Background
On November 1, 1915, Record Clerk C.L. Peterson released an index of all prisoners and prison employees from the institution's inception (May 13, 1873) through January 1, 1915. Peterson's partner in the indexing project, fellow Clerk S.W. Wetmore, died before its completion. The Index purports to catalog some 8,348 names of inmates and staff.
Note: The absence of specific tracking dates may mean that either the date of employment was unknown to Wetmore and Peterson, or that the employee was actively working at the time the index was compiled.
