Ogden and Marsh. Each in his way is without a superior. This evening Professor Marsh will deliver a lecture on elocution, with recitations, in the Opera House. He has more power and ability in this line than any-man we know in Ohio. It will be a rare treat.

Provenance

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