Norma, Thanks for these street names. That helps me a lot. And I never gave it a thought that my ancestor might have been the owner of the house, but it makes complete sense. Is there any way to find out which street in the 2nd Ward this house was located on? Did Hamilton have city directories that far back? And does anyone on this list do city directory lookups for us who live out-of-state?
