Named in the 1878 county history

The history of Wayne County was published 69 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Robert Lowry, a gallant soldier of the Mexican war and the last conflict between the North and South, informs us that Michael Funk and Elmer Yocum built the first house in the village of Congress, and that it was situated upon the site of the present Methodist church ; that Jacob Hare was the first postmaster, the office being kept on lot No. 5, in the village ; that Dr. Mills was the first permanent physician ; that George Wicks kept the first hotel, and that David W. Poe established the first tannery in the village. An Indian died in the house now occupied by the Beard family, and was buried in the old Congress graveyard.

Provenance

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