Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Ipswich, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress.

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.
