The 1889 Cincinnati Bell Telephone Book

About this book

This is a transcription of the November 1889 telephone book issued by the Bell Telephone Exchange and City and Suburban Telegraph Association. The original included telephone numbers ranging from two to five numbers but it was decided that the numbers should not be transcribed since they provided no useful information. Most of the information is for Cincinnati but the reader will find listings for areas in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.The instructions to aid people in using the telephone were also transcribed, and are included at the beginning.Campbell County Campbell County Historical and Genealogical SocietyThe Campbell County Historical and Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization formed in 1990, and dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting history and genealogy in Campbell County, Kentucky.
