1881 Bowersville Directory

The following is an excerpt of a transcription of the XENIA CITY and GREENE COUNTY DIRECTORY. ***1881*** . It was compiled by Chandler Bros., Xenia, Ohio by W. B. Chew, Printer.

This contains an alphabetical list of voters, heads of families, persons in business, giving their residence and post office. Also, a list of churches, with present pastors, and hours of service, location of schools, Board of Education, post offices, city and county officers, etc. but each city/town/township will not have each of the above.
