Pottawattamie County, IAGenWeb Directory Home HOME Bushnell's Business & Resident Directory for Council Bluffs May 15, 1869 A-B A-B C-D E-G H-J K-M N-R S-U V-Z Abbreviations:  C&NWRR is Chicago & Northwestern Railroad; St. Joe and CBRR is St. Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad; CRI&PRR is Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad; CB&SCRR is Council Bluffs and Sioux City Railroad; UPRR is Union Pacific Railroad; add. is addition; prop. is proprietor; Bdwy. is Broadway. There are a few references to H & St. Joe RR. Although I could not find this referenced in the directory, I believe this refers to the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad. Note:  Some names are followed by "col'd" - through research I have learned that this means, in the vernacular of the day, "colored" or a person of color.
