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.

The history of Norfolk County was published 1 year before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

For the next year the pulpit was supplied by different ministers, with the assistance of Mr. I labbell in the Sunday School, and in September, 1 896, the Rev. Julian K. Smyth, the pastor of the Roxbury snciety. was asked to take ministerial charge of the Brookline society of the New Church, with a service in the afternoon in addition to his duties at Roxbury. With the consent of the Roxbury society, Mr. Smyth accepted, and began his ministry in October, 1896. During the winter of 1S97-S, the Rev. Mr. Warren took charge of the Sunday School. In the .summer of 1898, Mr. Smyth accepted a call from tin church in New his church, held Sunday evening services in the town hall.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, 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.
