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 1915 county history

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

H. H. THORP, merchant, Sabina. The above gentleman is one of the nativeborn citizens of Clinton County, and his social and business standing in his town are too well known to need any comments by the writer here. He was born in Wilson Township in 1832, and is a son of Joshua and Nancy Thorp, who came from Virginia to this county in 1832. H. H. Thorp was reared on the farm, receiving the rudiments of his education in the district schools, whioh was developed by a short courso of study in the Delaware College. With these he fitted himself to teach, a profession he very successfully followed for about six years, twenty-one months of which time he labored in the public school of Sabina.

Provenance

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