Such is the query of our esteemed friend, Geo. F. Marshall of Cleveland, O., in submitting a list of names of Geneva residents way back in the '20's.  Mr. M. is our senior by about five years, and his knowledge of early Genevans much better than ours. At least he gives some names that are not familiar to us.  We could add many that he has omitted, but they are not now in the land of the living, although the descendants of a few are still with us.  Mr. Marshall asks, "Will you please take a look through your City directory and tell me where I will be able to find the residences of the following who were citizens of Geneva at the time I took my departure for the West when just out of my teens -- 68 years ago."

And makes the enumeration thus:
