Named in the 1915 county history

The history of Clinton County was published 8 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The Methodist Episcopal church was organized in the early history of the village, probably about the year 1848. Their first house of worship was built about 1850, on a site at the edge of where their church now stands. This continued until 1876, when the present building was erected. A Rey. C. B. Warrington was the first preacher to visit this place and at the commencement of the first meeting Mrs. Bowers was the only member in town.

Provenance

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