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.

First Christian Church

Named in the 1879 county history

The history of Columbiana County was published 18 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Several ministers of the Bible-Christian Church - the Revs. Henry and Jacob Stambaugh - resided in Centre township about 1825, and occasionally held meetings, but did not awaken enough interest to form a separate society. Judge Harbaugh, of Detroit, relates an amusing episode in the ministerial career of one of the Stambaughs. On one occasion, as he was immersing a very portly woman in the waters of the Beaver, she slipped from his grasp, and was in great danger of being drowned. She was at last grasped by the frightened clergyman as she arose to the surface pale and having many indications of one who had been at death's door.

Provenance

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