Hi,

I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me how I might find more information about the following. My great-great grandparents had a dairy farm either in Osage City or outside of it. They apparently sold milk in town as there are family stories about taking the wagon and selling it door to door. My family was in the area during the late 1880-1890s. Were there city directories at that time? Does anyone happen to have a list of dairy farms or farms in operation then? I'm not sure if he was renting land or owned it, although my guess would be he rented the land as they were not a rich family. Thanks in advance for any help! We are at a loss as to where to go from here.
