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 1908 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 21 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The Aaron Dixon place, in the eastern part of the town, was a very sandy farm. Mr. Dixon was succeeded by his son Porter, who sold the farm to Asa Durgin, who carried it on for four years, when it was purchased by the Catholic Church for a cemetery.

Provenance

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