Donna, thankyou so much for your offer. Yesterday Glen McG sent me the very
page you mentioned. I found it interesting and helpful.
Thanks again,
Carol

Subject: RE: City Directory Question
Did you receive a reply to this question yet??
I can provide a fairly accurate location for John & his family, based on
the
neighbors listed on the 1880 census, cross referencing it to the 1874
County
Atlas. There is a J. Hileman listed as a property owner in Springfield
Twp.
In 1874, not far from your John's 1880 neighbors. If you can receive a
scan
via e-mail, I'll scan that section of the page and you can compare the
properties of the neighbors to get a good idea where John would have been
living.
This isn't the city directory information you requested, but maybe just as
good.

John HILLSTROM immigrated to Indiana from Sweden between 1868 & 1871.
(Unable to find him and his family on Castle Garden site)
1880 census says he was a farmer, and he was disabled, but doesn't say
what
the disability was. (Found the census under John HELSTROM)
The census was Springfield Twp., LaPorte County, IN, District 50.
What I'd really like to know is - what was their address? Hopefully it'll
be
in one of the city directories.
I'd also like to know when he died, among many other things. Is there a
death index for Indiana?
Thankyou so much.
Carol
