Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Perry County was published 27 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

'On the lot now occupied by B. Whitmer's residence, and some distance back from the street, stood the old Academy. This was the High School of Somerset. The building was a large one, but was never fully completed. It had been imperfectly constructed, and after standing tor many years, being part of the time in use, the lot was purchased by Thomas J. "Maginnis, 'and the building was takeo down. Immediately north of the Academy, extending from the road at Mrs. McNutt's residence, westward, there was an eight-acre wood lot that was cleared about the year 1839."

Provenance

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