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. 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.
