Hello Leslie, I only see one BRIDGES in the directory, It is for BRIDGES, F. M., telephone # 639. There are no street addresses in this directory. In insurance agencies, there is no number or advertisement for a Bridges agency. Perhaps your Grandfather worked out of another office at this time. The agencies shown in 1935 are: Bell-Browder Covington Epsom Erskine & Co. Holman & Holman WW McClanahan G. S. Moore & Son Pike & Brown Leonard Villines I wish we could have helped you more on this issue. Don't forget that if your Grandfather operated a business outside the city limits, it would probably not be listed in this city directory. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/7/01 6:01:08 AM Pacific Daylight Time, Aug67@att.net writes: > Subj: Re: [ROOTWALKER] SPRINGFIELD,TN, City Directory, 1935 > Date: 4/7/01 6:01:08 AM Pacific Daylight Time > From: Aug67@att.net (~~Leslie~~) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Dear Stan, > > My grandfather, Frank Clayton BRIDGES, [Sr] owned & operated his > own insurance agency in Springfield in 1935.
