Yes, that last link was interesting, in light of an upcoming post I've got planned, regarding the properties where the Kelly and Stevens family members lived. It would be interesting to expand upon that concept with house histories. That article's a keeper for its resources, especially! Thanks for finding those.<br /><br />And from the first link, the label "Cartesian" for the address system change might be a productive search term for finding more information. That was a shift in numbering which was adopted by many cities, not just Fort Wayne. I remember encountering the same issue when researching the Tully family in Chicago, too.

In 1897, he opened his own studio in the 700 block of Calhoun Street over the Rurode Dry Goods store. In 1898, as his business increased, he moved to 23 West Wayne, now 121 West Wayne. The studio name was listed as Miner & Law Photography Studio in city directories of the day. Miner was a member of the Fort Wayne Elks Lodge 155 as well as the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias.<br /><br />It took him a while, until about age 39, before he met and married Fort Wayne resident Mary S. Criswell on Nov. 28, 1905. The couple had a daughter, Sarah M. Miner, who was born about 1908, followed by a second daughter Mildred born around 1912. The 1910 and 1911 city directories show Miner’s Studio, Charles W. Miner proprietor, at 121 West Wayne, which was the same location, but the address changed when the city’s street number system was adjusted."<br /><br />http://fortwaynemonthly.fortwayne.com/?q=article/picture-perfect<br /><br />"In 1902, Fort Wayne changed the numbering system of many streets"<br /><br />http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130324/FEAT07/303249971/1031/BIZ<br /><br />The last website might be of interest to you - <br /><br />:)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
