Named in the 1915 county history

The history of Preble County was published 23 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Now comes the turning point in Silas Dooley's life. Homesick, out of work, without money and poorly clad, he became discouraged and resolved to go home to his native Kentucky. Having no other means of accomplishing the two hundred and fifty miles that lay between himself and his relatives, he resolved to walk. Just as he was getting under way he met Captain David E. Hendricks, who immediately hired him to clear six acres of land, for which he was to receive three dollars and fifty cents per acre. This clearing is now occupied by the town of Camden. The same year Robert Runyon put the cleared land in corn. At the same time Captain Hendricks had three other hands chopping and splitting rails, viz: Isaac Wiseman, James Wright, and Thomas Combs, a half Indian.

Provenance

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