Here is a fantastic, new-to-me, resource that I stumbled upon this morning!
Florida Gazetteer & Business Directory. Source: Archive.org
What’s nice is that this directory fills in some information spaces between censuses and city directory publications. It lists a lot important folks Emmett ran with (i.e., people who would pay to have their names listed, plus advertising), and provides addresses.
The information I was able to glean from this source was subtle, but important:
A) Emmett did not have a law partner; he was a solo-practitioner between 1911 and 1912. But,
B) It confirmed he was sharing office space with J. Walter Kehoe, his other close friend and roommate (Emmett lived with the Kehoe family for years).
As it happens, I found the Florida Gazetteer when I was looking for something else totally unrelated — isn’t it great when that happens?
There are a few other Florida Gazetteers on Archive.org. Hopefully, more will be posted in the future!
