Named in the 1915 county history

The history of Union County was published 5 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

At New California, in 1852, principally through the efforts of Jesse Gill, a frame one-story schoolhouse was erected. The township donated 150 for the privilege of using it for election purposes. The balance of the building fund was secured by private subscription. Select schools have been held in this building almost every yeai* since, embracing, besides the common branches, the higher mathematics, languages, etc, These schools have been well attended and their impress is shown in the rank the teachers of Jerome have taken in this county. Among the teachers of this school were Llewellyn Curry (winter of 1852-53), Rev. I. N. Laughead, Olive Gill, Isaac Winters, David Cochran, Samuel Graham, Mr. Johnson, Thomas Evans, R. L. Woodburn, George Rhulen, Mr.

Provenance

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