Named in the 1881 county history

The history of Stark County was published 17 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The first licensed minister of the Gospel in the township was the Rev. Edward Ii. Otis, a Baptist, who settled in the sonthern portion of the township prior to 181(1, as his name appears in the census for that deceimial period, and who had the stated preaching of the Gospel at the houses of the five neighbors in that portion of the township. The second minister who came into the township was the Rev. James Dixon, who was appointed to Tuscarawas circuit, Nov 1, 1810, the district being known as Muskingum District of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the conference being known as the Western Conference ; and since the coming of the Rev. James Dixon, the township has never been without preaching by some minister of that church.

Provenance

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