How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1905 county history

The history of Butler County was published 15 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

by forty-three feet, John Vaughn, a brother-in-law to Governor Bebb, burning the brick for the house just east of the village. Mr. Vaughn also burned most of the brick for the houses in New London, and many in the country at a distance. The Church was inclosed in 1824, and in 1825 the furniture was added. The first service within its walls was the funeral of Mrs. Ruth Vaughn. _ In 1827 Mr. Thomas gave up the call and accepted the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church of Venice. He labored here until his death in 1831. In the mean time Mr. Lloyd had retired from active work in the ministry. July, 1828, Rey. Thomas G. Roberts, of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, entered the pastorate and took charge of the Church, preaching in both languages. Failing health caused him to'return to his home in 1831.

Provenance

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