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 1897 county history

The history of Essex County was published 9 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The First Universalist Society of Danvers, being the third religious society in the present town of Danvers, was organized April 22, 181 5 under the title of the " First L^niversalist Society," although there were believers much earlier, even in the earlier part of the eighteenth century, I )eacon and Captain F^dmund Putnam being the pioneer of the Universalist doctrine in 1785, when he withdrew from the First Church, where he had been a prominent man, and deacon of the Church for many years.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Essex County, Massachusetts, 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.
