Description: BERESFORD, SOUTH DAKOTA TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES, 1949-1963 Author: Beresford Municipal Telephone System Title: BERESFORD, SOUTH DAKOTA TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES, 1949-1963 Publication: Beresford, South Dakota: Beresford Municipal Telephone System and A.B. & E. Telephone Company, 1949-1963 Description: Wraps. A collection of eleven telephone directories (1949-1951, 1953, and 1957-63) for the small South Dakota city located in the southeastern corner of the state. Founded by the Chicago and North Western railroad in 1884, Beresford lies in two counties - Union and Lincoln - and is situated about 35 miles south of Sioux Falls. At the time these directories were issued, the population was estimated to be about 1,750 and according to the 2010 U.S. Census, it is home to 2,005 residents.Each directory is composed of between 24 and 28 pages, which include alphabetic personal and business listings, respectively, as well as information for subscribers and period advertisements. The first three directories were mailed to William Peter Neuroth (1891-1952), while the remainder were addressed to his widow, Anna Margaret Neuroth (née Pohlen, 1899-1988), with a U.S. postage stamp in the corner of all eleven. All were formerly bound with a staple along the fore-edge, presumably for mailing. There are several holographic annotations and additions. Each is hole punched in the top left corner for attaching to an aluminum chain (still present). Some general toning, with occasional minor wear and soiling; otherwise very good.Scarce, OCLC locates no copies of any Beresford Municipal Telephone System directory. Very good.
