This 1925 Year Book is the earliest of the Church directories that was kept by my family or that I have found thus far, and was probably kept by Percy Leon Thomas, Sr. It is interesting to me because it lists the Thomas family at 2117 Dancy Terrace, includes addresses for all the members some of whom were or were to become very prominent in the Jacksonville community, and because ads for local Springfield and Jax area businesses are included. These businesses will also be listed in the Jacksonville City Directory for the year 1925. Joan Thomas was 7 years old and her sister, Barbara Thomas, 6 in 1925.
