Historical Note
Adolf F. Thode (1858-1932) was born in Germany and served an apprenticeship with his uncle to become a dentist before emigrating to the U.S. in 1876. He established a dental practice in Rawlins, Wyoming, in 1881 and often traveled to his patients in Carbon, Sweetwater, and Fremont counties. His dental practice was affiliated with Thomas B. Maghee, a physician in Rawlins who in 1886 performed reconstructive facial surgery on George Webb, a sheepherder who had tried to commit suicide. Thode was also a long-time member of the Rawlins public school board; a stockholder and secretary for the Osborne Live Stock Co. of Rawlins, which raised and sold sheep; and involved with water resources development in Carbon County.
Content Description
The A.F. Thode collection contains four items of correspondence (1901-1925); one photograph of Thode and seven photographs of Webb before and after his surgery; seven notebooks containing dental records for Thode's patients (1881-1889, 1900); one journal with newspaper clippings, class attendance reports and grades for J. B. Blazer, principal of Rawlins public schools (1886-1888); the articles of incorporation, by-laws, brand certificates, contracts and miscellaneous other materials relating to the Osborne Live Stock Co. (1900-1928); and six items regarding the irrigation and water rights for the Horse Gulch and Basin ditches in Carbon County, including the survey notes (1887-1893).
