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 in the same year as the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The voters of Sharon are liberal in making appropriations for all objects that are supported by town taxes, but so carefully and judiciously is the money expended that the tax is kept low on a low valuation. Politics never enter into town af- fairs, the best man being chosen to office without regard to political parties. This town was the first one in the state to supply free text hooks to' scholars. It supports a High School, though not obliged by law to do so. and the schools are all kept forty weeks in a year. The schools are partly supported by the income of an invested fund, which was given for the purpose many years ago. The town debt is small and being rapidly diminished. The schoolhouses are ample for the needs of the town and in good repair.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Norfolk County, 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.
