Named in the 1915 county history

The history of Preble County was published 23 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Quite a number of the citizens of New Paris, especially the foreign population, were staunch supporters of the Roman Catholic church, and about the year 1870, with characteristic zeal, they took steps toward the building of the church, which is a brick building standing on the south side of East Walnut street. This building, both in size and appearance, compares very favorably with the other churches of town. The church is not strong enough to support a settled priest, but is supplied from time to time by priests from the neighboring city of Richmond.

Provenance

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