Named in the 1920 county history

The history of Ashtabula County was published 24 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The parents of this gentleman were James Smith, who was born in Clinton, Oneida county, New York, and Laura Scoville Smith, of Saratoga county, same State. They came to Ohio in 1818, locating in Ashtabula and erecting a gristand saw-mill. These mills being among the first on the Reserve, were widely known, and patronage was drawn from a circuit of many miles. It was in this grist-mill, in January, 1831, that the father, while freeing the wheel from ice, was so severely injured that he died from its effects within an hour. He left considerable property, the bulk of which was, however, absorbed in settlement. The mother survived him many years ; died November 14, 1875. Lewis W.

Provenance

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