1893 - 1894 Sherman Denison
City Directory
This includes a general county directory
A City directory is priceless !
It can contain information on where someone works and lives.
Whether a woman is a widow or not and you can find info on
Churches, fraternal organizations, street descriptions etc.
It had been rebound and as a result some pages were 'shortened' in the crease, this means that some edges of the printing were obscured but most of it you can read.
Also many tears were in the book and tape to try to hold it together. It was very brittle, as a result I did not press too hard to keep it from further damage.
