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.

First Baptist Church

Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Hardin County was published 28 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Mr. Hisey came from Belmont County to Hardin County about 1832- 33, and settled on land near the crossing of the pike on the township line between Goshen and Dudley Townships, and the State road running from Bellefontaine to Upper Sandusky, where he resided several years, but subsequently moved away. He was a preacher of marked ability, and quite a noted revivalist in the Free-Will Baptist Church.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Hardin 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.
