1873 Oconto Company Employment Ledger,
Oconto Wisconsin
The Oconto Company operated out of Oconto from 1866 to 1943 as a lumber company.  The following list of names is from a time roll ledger dated Sept. 1873 in the Oconto County Historical Society archives, transcribed by Diane Nichols, County Historian.  This ledger keeps track of every day worked in the month by each person and lists their wages at the months end.  Most men were making between $30 and $43 per month, some as much $60. Special note:  because these are hand written names, it’s not always obvious if the letter written is an “r” or a “v”, “n” or “m” or combinations thereof; also such letters as “g”, “y”, “z” are difficult to decipher.
