Kathy - Thanks so much for this information. It looks as though when my grandmother visited the "Kinloch office" in 1905 in St. Louis, that she was indeed going to visit where she had previously been employed before her marriage in January 1905 - the telephone company. I had heard many years ago that she had worked some kind of position like a switchboard operator, and it would seem that she did work for the Kinloch phone company. Thanks again. I do have more questions from the 1905 diary to be asked in a future e-mail. Frances
