Relocated

During 1895, William B. Schwartz appears to have relocated to Indianapolis. I have not found any newspaper articles announcing his departure from Brazil. By 1896, he appears in the Indianapolis City Directory.

E. Washington Street is one of the major boulevards through the city of Indianapolis. The Marion County court house is located on E. Washington. William’s office would have been located down the street.

W. B. Schwartz’s house would have been one of the long skinny homes to the west (or to the left) of the livery. The modern map at Google shows that these buildings no longer exist.

    Even historians of the ancient world rely on lists of names–even on stone tablets–to track the movement of people and ethnic trends. It’s amazing that all this stuff is now on line.
