Farm Directories

I used the most extensive farm directory that I have ever used today and wanted to remind researchers of the potential information from these sources. I used Benton, Meeker, and Todd Counties, Minnesota Farm Directory 1913-1914 for my research on the Vohs line, linked to the Pillens and Pilgers. The entry included his name, his wife's name, all of their living children's names (Wow!), the sections he was farming, how many years he had been in the county and the township and county he resided in. Again, never overlook the possible clue in a less well-known source!
