Hello, You all are so helpful, so I thought you might be able to help with this. I just found my husband's g-g-g-grandmother ALICIA JULIA HYDE in the Cleveland Directory in 1865-66. She is a boarder at 273 Columbus and is unmarried--, no profession is listed. Since I have not been able to find a family for ALICIA, or to find her in the 1850 or 1860 census, I am grabbing at this thread. Here is my question: what was she doing living in Cleveland, alone, in 1865? Could she have been a teacher (my mother-in-law seems to remember hearing this) and if so, how do I find that out? Also, is it possible to find out whom she rented from? She claimed in her husband Civil War pension paperwork that she was born in October of 1844 in Steubenville, Ohio, so she would have been about 21 at the time. In April of 1866 she would mary JOHN HENRY GALVIN. I tried "paging through" the directory to find other unmarried women boarders, but it seemed pretty unusual--should I be shocked? Thank you for any thoughts on this.
