| Notes | J. J. and G. Tunnicliff attorneys-at-law and collection agents had their offices in the same building, 42 South Cherry Street, Galesburg, Illinois. It is not known at this time what the Woman's Exchange was but in later years the Galesburg City Directories list a Woman's Exchange Bakery but at a different address. Addresses verified in the 1895 Galesburg City Directory. |
