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 1884 county history

The history of Hampden County was published 7 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Grace Methodist-Episcopal Church. - In the autumn of 1866 the question of forming a Methodist church, to be located on Main Street south of State Street, - there being no Methodist church in that section of the city; - was agitated. As a result, on Jan. 1, 1867, 29 members of the then Pynchon-street - now Trinity - Methodist-Episcopal Church were organized as a society to be known as the Central Methodist-Episcopal Church. Edw. Cooke, D.D., principal of the Wesleyan Academy at Wilbraham, Mass., was their first minister ; and the first service was held on the first Sunday of January, 1867, in Union Hall. The same day a Sunday school was organized. In April, 1867, the Rev. C. A. Merrill became their pastor.

Provenance

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