I was able to narrow down when my great-grandmother's 2nd husband died from the listings- a great resource. Can you tell my what the "h" stands for? I thought "home", but I see other listings with "res" that must mean residence. And the address - work address or home address? These city directories even list when someone is the widow of someone. Very interesting indeed, and would be deemed a huge violation of privacy today I imagine!
