Driscolls Living in Cohoes, NY between 1901 and 1935

My husband's great-grandfather, John Driscoll, was employed at the Harmony company for
most of his life. In 1897, he lost his forearm when caught in a belt in the weave
room at No. 1 Harmony Mill. When he died in 1905, he was employed at the Harmony 
company as a night watchman. 

In 2000, I visited the library in Cohoes, New York, and copied most pages from city directories naming Driscolls living in Cohoes. Helen Driscoll, daughter of John and granddaughter of Simon, was my husband's maternal grandmother. That same year, I transcribed these Driscoll entries and, under each year, grouped them by address to see possible families. 

In the last month, I have recopied the transcribed list, corrected many mistakes, and added a few years from directories found at Ancestry.com. This is the second of a two-part list. The years from 1870 to 1900 can be seen by clicking here. 

Notes: Abbreviations and punctuation were copied from the directories. Deaths and any notes can be seen in red. An asterisk [*] can be seen next to the Driscoll entries I believe MAY be the family I am researching. 

Some abbreviations found in the directories are as follows:

h. is home

n. is near

b. or bds. are boards

opp. is opposite
