I've just posted the Business Directory for Woodford Co that appears in the 1878 edition of The Past and Present of Woodford Co by Wm. Le Baron, Jr. & Co. in hopes that it may help someone who is researching family in this area. I put them on the Rootsweb/Ancestry message board at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.woodford Since the link splits onto two lines, you might not be able to get there by just clicking it. Even if you don't find any familiar names there, it's fun reading about occupations and the things people sold back in the day. Amy atjaden@mindspring.com amy@tjaden.com
