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.
