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 1920 county history

The history of Ashtabula County was published 24 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In 1841 the first public school building was erected on the south end of Episcopal church lot, at a cost of perhaps one thousand dollars. It consisted of but a single story, but in 1848 another story was added. The first school-board consisted of Abner Kellogg, president ; C. S. Simonds, clerk ; H. S. Hunt, treasurer; Harrison Loomis, Reuben Warren, and N. L. Chaffee. The pay of teachers for the winter of 1853 was: Mr. Slater, principal, fifty-three dollars; 3Iiss 3Ioore, twenty-five dollars; 3Iiss Wakefield, twenty-two dollars. The length of the term was sixteen weeks.

Provenance

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