I would contact the county public library and ask for a look up in the city directories (phone books or business directories) during the dates you are interested in. Also, as for photo help, I would contact Maureen Taylor, the Photo Detective... http://www.maureentaylor.com/ She is the "go to girl" for these issues - She does answer questions for people Best of luck!
