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 1880 county history

The history of Darke County was published 7 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

WILKINS RECK, farmer ; P. 0. Gettysburg. The subject of this sketch is one of the permanent settlers of Darke Co. ; he was born in Adams Township, near Gettysburg;, Nov. 14, 1841 ; he is a sou of Michael and Mary Reck, whose life histories appear on the pages of this work. Our subject was raised in Gettysburg, and attended school, after he had attained a proper age, till he was 15 years old, when his father removed to the farm, and young Wilkins was installed there as an assistant at performing the labors of the farm. He assisted in agricultural pursuits till his 24th year, when he volunteered in the 152d Ohio V.

Provenance

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