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 1905 county history

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

About this time, or perhaps a few years prior, a magazine was published in Middletown known as the Hesperides. by a man named J. J. Pete, but its life was very short. The mazes settle down on us in the newspaper craft for a few years, and we again reach certain footing in 1857, when we find that C. H. and A. C. Brock succeeded Mr. Harlan and changed the name of the paper to The Western Journal and issued the first number January 12, 1857. The editors say on the title page, "Independent in tone and character; devoted to literature, science, agriculture, general and local news; open to all parties. Published every Thursday morning; Odd Fellows Building, Main street." C. H. and A. C.

Provenance

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