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 1882 county history

The history of Montgomery County was published 4 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Brookville, the principal village, located in the southern part of the tow ship, on the Dayton and Western l'oad, was surveyed and platted by Jar Frees April 13, 1850, for Jacob Flory, the proprietor of fifteen lot9. In 188 a dry goods store was kept on the site of the village, by Warren Estabroo for whom it was afterward named. Joseph Mikesell was an earlier marcha on the same site. Additions were made by one Root, and by Noah and Ben min Baker. The village is pleasantly situated on the west branch of W< Creek, and is about 250 feet higher than the city of Dayton. From this v lage diverge in almost every direction good and free turnpikes, which t township in general is well supplied with.

Provenance

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