I am looking for the name of the hotel located at 180 Essex Ave., Orange. My grandmother was the proprietor of the hotel for many years. With the name of the hotel, I hope to search the newspapers in that area for photographs of Margaret Savage Schott, my grandmother. Thanks. Bob Schott >> I accessed the Orange City Directory for 1885-1900 at Morristown New Jersey Public Library Local History and Genealogy Section. I think they would look up a specific question such as yours. Try 973-538-3473, also their URL is http://www.morrisig.com/jfpl/gene.htm Good luck Joe Cummins
