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 1884 county history

The history of Norfolk County was published 28 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

but such as they were he improved, so that by close application and study, and with scarcely any instruction, except what he himself was able to glean from books, he became a successful teacher, not only of the grammar school but in the teaching of music, and also of penmanship, his success was marked ; became so marked that in the following year a committee from the town of Holland, Mass., waited upon him with a request to him to take charge of a school in that town. Leaving the paternal dwelling in 1808, he took up his residence in Holland, where he taught some two years with good success.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Wellesley, Massachusetts, 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.
