Provenance

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