Transcriber's Notes
Directory publisher and year are not shown.
'Knoell' entries included as a possible spelling variant; 'Knollman Charles, actor, h 1328 N 10th' follows the Knoll block and was not included; 'Knolb Sophia, wid Charles, h 1825 Taylor' precedes it and was not included.
'Weiss' on this page occurs only as a street name in a Knott entry ('Weiss c Spencer av, Gtn'), not as a person.
Print is clear; readings confident.
