Named in the 1880 county history

The history of Richland County was published 22 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The Rev. Michael Schuh, one of the founders of the Mount Zion Church, was a very learned man - a German scholar, and for a long time kept a select school in the old log church, which he was instrumental in erecting, on the site of Mount Zion Church. It was a high school or seminary, and was started about 1820. Many of the influential men of the township were partially educated there. Mrs. John Swigart, before mentioned, came from Washington County, Penn., and settled near New Lisbon in 1804 ; and in what was then called the Twentysecond Township, now Orange Township, Ashland County, in 1814. She removed from there to Monroe in 1821. Solomon Gladden, John Lambright and Adam Wininger were her neighbors then. Mr. Gladden came to the township in 1816, but did not settle permanently until 1817.

Provenance

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