Unfortunately, my g-grandfather isn't in the list. He may have been listed as just Dr. Edward Muir, dropping the George. I'm beginning to think that they didn't actually live in Lexington, but rather outside, maybe toward Paris where he grew up or in the NE Jessamine County where his parents were married. But, I do believe that his practice was in Fayette County. Do you have access to Jessamine or Bourbon County directories as well?

I looked through Lexington city directories for 1902-03, 1904-05, 1911, 1914, 1916, 1919, and 1923. I did not find a George Edward Muir, but there was a George W Muir who was a fire chief & an inspector for the fire department. I copied out the names of all the Muirs in all the years I mentioned, and here they are: 1902-03 George W (Mary W) chief fire dept 300 (145) S. Limestone (I *think* the streets may have been renumbered, hence the two addresses, but that is ONLY my guess) G Wallace Henry (Emma L) Kerby (wid Elifius S) Sallie W (wid Thomas B) Stewart (also a firefigher) Wilgus 1904-05 Emma (wid Henry) George W (Mary E) 135 E Maxwell K Wallace (boards at 135 E Maxwell) John W Kirby (wid Eliphalet) Sallie W (wid Thomsa [sic] B) Wallace (boards at 135 E Maxwell) 1911 George W (Mary C) capt Woodland House Co No 5 135 E Maxwell John (Nellie) J Harry J Vol (Kate L) Kirby (wid E S) Sena M Steuart R (Margaret R) Wallace (Sunshine L) Wm W (Frances P) 1914 George W (Mary C) Kirby (wid Eliphlate) Steuart R (Margaret) Wallace (Sunshine L) Wm W (Frances P) 1916 George W (Mary E) M Kirby (wid Eliphlate) Stuart R (Margaret) Wallace (Sunshine L) (Wallace has his address in bold face in several years, he was an attorney) Wm W (Frances P) 1919 George W (Mary E) city fire insp Stuart Wallace Wm W 1923 George W (Mary) Sallie Pryor (wid John) S R William W That's all I noted down. I hope this helps some--and please let me know if you need more details. Do you think this George is the same George?
