Negro directory, 1910

A list of people’s names, written in pencil in Staple and Fine Groceries account book labeled, also in pencil “Negro directory”. Many have notations about the person, and often have street addresses. Booksellers description: “Presumed to be late early 20th C. [latest family birth date recorded is 1900]. 48 pages booklet, of which the first 15, and last with penciled entries. 6-1/8" x 3-5/8". Commerical booklet, designed to track grocery purchases, with imprint of Tetley's Teas to front & rear cover. Minor wear & soiling to covers. One leaf, at center, removed.” There are no other identifying marks. The handwriting is consistent, so it may be assumed that the compiler is the “Me” on the last page. Based on street names this may be in Augusta, Georgia. Many of the names appear in the Augusta Federal Census between 1900 and 1930, and quite a number appear at the correct addresses in Augusta in the 1910 census.
