House history update-October 2014

I'd certainly like to dig deeper, but I managed to find these documents online after a quick search.

This map is from 1905, produced by G.M. Hopkins Map Company, five years after our house was built. The plot is the same. Its safe to assume the Grahams built the house and were the first ones to live there. My next step is to search the county property tax records, which must be done in person. I'd like to search the US census as well, but I'm having difficulty finding 1900 and 1910 online.



This document is from the 1924 city directory. The person who lived at our address is identified as Wm F Graham, although I'm confused as to what the "Wm" is referring to, being that half the Grahams listed have Wm before their names. This directory lists the professions of the residents, and Mr. Graham was the manager of Pine Lumber Company.
