1897 Racine City Directory; PARTIAL; ABER to AUGUSTINE
In my attempt to gather as much information on the city directories for
Racine county while in Racine, I was only able to get a very little
portion of the city directory for 1897. If someone wishes to add to it,
or xerox it and snail-mail to me as a joint effort, I'll be more than
glad to type it up and upload it for the benefit of all. You would naturally
get full credit with name posted as submitter. Please check
with me first, however, as I still have directories in my possession to
transcribe, including other parts of the 1897 directory. Thank you.
