Genealogical news from Spokane, Washington, USA, and the Inland Northwest.

I just read a list from the Spokane Directory 1886-1887 which listed so many and varied occupations pursued by Spokane citizens. I was amazed because so many exist today. I found:
Plumber -- Register of Land -- Attorney -- Furniture -- Blacksmith -- Saloon -- Groceries -- Hides and Furs -- Restaurant -- Butcher -- Music Teacher -- Dry Goods -- Clergyman -- Milliner -- Physician -- Proprietor -- Banker -- Catholic Priest -- Dressmaking -- Carriage Maker -- Grain & Hay -- Undertaker -- Publisher -- Livery Stable -- Druggist -- Hotel -- Notions -- Shoes & Boots -- Japanese Goods -- Gasfitter -- Barber Shop -- Drayman -- Seedsman -- Mining Broker -- Photographer -- Cigars & Tobacco -- Dentist -- Sporting Goods -- Boarding House -- Insurance Broker -- Judge -- Jeweler -- Book Seller -- Hardware -- Gunsmith -- Painter -- Brewery -- Tailor -- Military Telegrapher -- Bill Poster -- Baker -- NP Railroad Agent -- Books & Stationery
Ever given much thought to your ancestor's occupation? What documentation do you have for that fact?
