Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Hampden County was published 5 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Numbered among the leading similar concerns of Massachusetts, and having a reputation for reliability second to none, is the Ely Lumber Company, located at the corner of Cabot and Canal streets. The present firm is successor to Watson Ely & Son, a lumber concern founded thirty years ago, and, in its day, a peer among others in Massachusetts. Monuments to their structural ability may be seen in the Holyoke City Hall, Holyoke Opera House, Windsor Hotel and several of the great paper mills of the city. Two years after the death of Mr. Ely, in 1S!)6, the present company was formed and incorporated in January, 1898, with a capital of $40,- 000. It is officered by Franklin W. Ely, president; George S. Lewis, treasurer, and L. A. Williston, secretary and manager.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Holyoke, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress.

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.
