For many years, the State of Wisconsin operated a home for children
in Sparta, Wisconsin. It was known locally as the Child Center. Many
children from throughout Wisconsin lived there because they were removed
from their homes or because they were orphans. The Home closed about
30 years ago and all the records were transferred to the State Historical
Society in Madison. A local group recently put markers on all the graves
of the children who died while living there.
I have recently transcribed the cemetery listings. The listing includes
the names of the children buried there and a number. The number is linked
to the location of the grave within the cemetery. There are no dates included.
