The 1891 Grain Dealers
and Shippers Gazetteer
The first 4 maps that I have
placed up were done so because of a little boy's request for railroad maps for a school
report. I found the
Gazetteer at an Antiquarian Paper Show and was enthralled by all the little
towns and
businesses that I am sure are not there anymore. Although the title page says that it is for the states of
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri, I have seen lots and lots of
other states in there so it should be some interesting data to help in your research. It
appears that there are 25 railroads in all of the various R.R. lines, sadly they
do not all include route maps, UNLESS...as with the data, several were merged
together for space needs...I have uploaded those maps that are there and you can
see the data that is up and which R.R. were merged into
conglomerates.

Originally
I purchased this book for my main Michigan site, because it said it was for the
Great Lakes area, but so far as you can see below the following states are
represented in this Gazetteer. The states included are in red. To see which towns of these states have
individuals listed, please go to each individual R.R. data listing.

All of the information from this neat book is on line. I have scanned in the ads
and have also pulled the people listed in the ad images into a database that can
be searched by the main search engine. I hope you enjoy this project.
When doing searches, it is better to use
one word searches and remember to use the OLD state abbreviations, (I have
abbreviated these in the state boxes above in an alternate color). Also, keep in
mind surnames were spelled all sorts of ways, phonetic etc.
Want to
see another great info site on Railroads? A good friend of mine, John McCoy
& the NEGenWeb has
collected all sorts of information that may be helpful to your research on the
iron road.
