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 1896 county history

The history of Huron County was published 10 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Mr. Schick has been twice married. In 1899, he wedded Miss Bertha Bower, a daughter of William Bower, of this county, who was a native of Germany. Unto this union was born one daughter, Louisa. The wife and mother was called away to her final rest in 1905, while two years later, in 1907, Mr. Schick married Miss Louisa Bower, a sister of his former wife. He is a member of the German Lutheran church and is public-spirited in his citizenship, lending his aid to all measures and movements which have for their object the substantial and permanent development and upbuilding of the community. Honorable and upright in all of his dealings, he has won the respect and confidence of those with whom he is associated, and he is held in high regard by a large circle of warm friends.

Provenance

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