Residents

The residents have been sorted alphabetically by name to allow quick searching.  No attempt has been made to combine names associated with multiple properties.  If "J. H. Homey" (or anyone else) is listed with 2 or 3 properties the name will appear that many times in the list.  In this way the transcription makes no assumption about whether the same man owned several properties or several men had the same name.
