Hi Glee: I made a trip to the Allen County Genealogical Library last week
and looked in their city directories for your Bea or Bee surname. The 1861
Logans Annual City Directory did not list either name. The directories then
skipped to 1868-69 and I still found no Bea or Bee surname. Nor did the
1870 Hutchinsons Indianapolis City Directory list Bea or Bee. These
directories were on microfilm. I did find your Hoffner name in the 1870
directory. There were three: Samuel, Seth and Luke. All appear to work for
the railroad, three different lines, and Samuel and Luke are listed as
living on Michigan Road. I can give you more complete information on the
Hoffners if that helps. Perhaps you are right about Conrad Bea living
outside the city. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Nancy

Subject: [MARION COUNTY, IN] City directories
> I understand that there are city directories for Indianapolis. I need a
look up in them for the years of 1850, 1870, 1880 for a Conrad Bea or any
surname spelled Bea or Bee. Conrad was living in 1889 with his daughter
Mary
Hoffner and her husband and family. Conrad does not appear in the
1850 and
everyt thing points to him being there in that year. I guess that he could
be in the outlying areas of the town. I cannot see to read microfilm or
fiche and there are no Mormon libraries closer that an hours drive and I
cannot see to drive. Can someone help please.
