Claudia,
You may want to check the Garrett Library's website
http://www.gpl.lib.in.us/ to see if they have any of the directories you are
searching. They have The Garrett Clipper (newspaper) on microfilm for
nearly 100 years I believe.

Subject: [INDEKALB-L] CITY DIRECTORIES
Hello, fellow listers!
I'm wondering if there were any city directories for the town of Garret
back
in the early part of the 1900's. I'm trying to find out if
there's a way
to
find the address of the house my father, Byron Burdess Pell, and his
parents,
William M. & Hannah E.Pell, and siblings lived in between 1908
and 1909.
I
have found a very poor copy of a 1910 DeKalb County census on
Ancestry.com,
showing my father and his family and on the side of the census there
appears
to be a street name written. Unfortunately, I can't make out the
faded
writing so I'm hoping there might be a city directory for the town of
Garrett
that survives today. I know that some towns had city directories but
I've
read that this practice was pretty much discontinued by 1930. Can anyone
assist me with this?
Thanks in advance!
