How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1900 county history

The history of Adams County was published 4 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Lick Fork Baptist Church was organized in 1840. The first building was a log structure which stood on the site of the present framebuilding which was erected in 1857.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Adams County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
