Hi All, This is the final installment of the Owen County communities from the R.L. Polk & Co.'s Kentucky State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1895-1896. I just learned that Polk did these directories several times from the 1870s until this final directory in 1896. Hopefully I will have copies of these earlier directories soon and I will post the Owen County information. Jackie Couture PLEASANT HOME.
