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 1882 county history

The history of Warren County was published 13 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The first church built in the town of Morrow was a small structure, built previous to 1847, by private subscription. It was known as a union church, and was occupied alternate Sundays by the different denominations then existing in the village. After the completion of the railroad to Morrow, a large number of men were employed in work along the line of the road. Many of these were Catholics, and St. Malachy's Catholic Church was organized by Rev. Blake, in 1849 or *60, with a large membership. They held their services for some time in file union church and school building. In 1854 they erected at a cost of about $2,000, a small one -story brick house, with a seating capacity of about 800, on a lot donated by William H. Clement. In 1866 a tower and belfry was added at a cost of $8,000.

Provenance

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