This is the Covington half of the Covington/Newport City dir. These images were taken from an original copy and the text is light in some images. This directory is indexed at Ancestry.com ($) and is viewable with a paid subscription there or free via many libraries including the Kenton Co. Library. The pages are alphabetical and include many ads and other business data. An interesting glimpse into the past.
