DULUTH TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES

   The Zimmerman lived in Duluth until Bob Dylan was six (1947), when his father had polio and the family returned to his mother's hometown, Hibbing, where they lived for the rest of Dylan's childhood.

  These are Duluth Telephone Directories. They were used to find people based on their telephone number or their address and also gave personal information regarding the person's employment.

Below: 1941 Directory: includes the name and address of A H Zimmerman, Bob's father, 519 N. 3rd Avenue East.
