Kansas History and Heritage Project-Jefferson County Directories

Jefferson County Directories


I love directories--not only do they tell you where your ancestor was, but also what he was up to! They are especially helpful between census years.

1878 Kansas State Gazetteer and Business Directory includes towns, postoffices and settlements.

1878 Jefferson County Farmers' Directory, listed by post office.

1890 Business Directory, published in the Oskaloosa Independent, partial; includes Winchester, Nortonville and Osawkee.

1894 Kansas State Gazetteer and Business Directory includes business directories for the larger towns.

1899 Patrons' Directory listing of farmers and businessmen--a subscription directory, it did not list all residents.

1928 "Colored" Directory Includes residents in Oskaloosa, Perry and Williamstown.
