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 1889 county history

The history of Worcester County was published 1 year after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In 1828 "sundry individuals in the town of Leicester, procured by subscription a philosophical apparatus, and presented it to the , academy, cost over $500." That year the academy received its first considerable legacy. Cajjtain Israel Waters, of Charlton, " was," iu the language of Governor Washburu, " the architect of his own fortune." He was born in Sutton. A poor boy, he pressed his way to wealth by liia own industry, enterprise and determination. His business wa-i the manufacture of leather, in the northerly part of Charlton.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Worcester County, Massachusetts, 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.
