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 1900 county history

The history of Jackson County was published 3 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Just south of the railroad, in the northeastern corner of Section 9, on the L. W. Poland property, a test of the Hamden sand gave only a small well which was soon abandoned. Near the village of Byer, four wells, which went onl}^ to this gas bearing sand, were drilled. For information concerning these the Survey is indebted to Guy Stevenson, W. H. Conway, T. W. Hupsicker, and L. S. Peoples, residents of the village. The depth of the well, located just east of the Christian Church, is between 600 and 650 feet, which depth would reach only the Hamden sand. The work was done in 1890 or 1891, by the Southern Ohio Oil and Gas Company. Neither oil ror gas was secured in paying quantities.

Provenance

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