On This Date in Minnesota History: October 24

October 24, 1902 – “The members of the trade union at the [Northwest] Thresher Company [in Stillwater, Minn.] strike because of non-union men working on a construction job at the company. Brick and stone laborers walk out, but supervisor George Wilson quickly replaces them with non-union men.”

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching  genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including:
census records,  birth records,  death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records.  I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MHS records.  Both short searches and family history reports.
