The Postmaster might have an idea of this change also.

Don, depends on what/whom you are looking for. The Vigo County
Public
Library Special Collections Dept. MIGHT have information on the school in
its local history files.
I would suggest you "Ask the Librarian" at
www.vigo.lib.in.us
As far as families that lived there, you could look at old city
directories - not sure if they included Dresser/Taylorville or not.
Again,
"Ask the Librarian". The library has those in book form
back through the
30's, and in microfilm before that. There are also old high school
yearbooks, although not every year is available. Those are also back in
the
Special Collections Dept. of the library.
Census records are only available through 1930. The census is not
released
until the info is 72 years old, so you won't be able to do
anything with
the
time period you mentioned in the census.

> Hello everyone,

born in Dresser, vigo, IN. I was sitting here this week planning our
vacation for next year and noticed Dresser is now Taylorville on the map.
Taylorville as the nickname for dresser when I lived there in the '40's
'50's & early '60's Does anyon know when the maps were changed? Also
does
anyone have any information on the school there (or any families of that
era)? Thanks a million. Don Oder
