Nomination for Hathaway, Lot, House

The case file that argued this property on to the National Register: 1,688 words across 11 pages, filed in 1974. Read by 4 independent recognisers, of which at least 3 had to agree before a line was published.

Source document Held by the National Archives in Record Group 79 as reference 74001504, where it exists only as a scan with no text layer. The words below were read off that scan by 4 independent recognisers at two resolutions. Only lines that at least 3 of them returned identically appear below; where they disagreed, the line is withheld rather than guessed, so some of the form's furniture is missing. Spelling is never corrected, so a stray character that all the readers agreed on is the recogniser's and the typewriter's.. Nothing is summarised, corrected or written by this site. See the catalogue record, or return to the property.

What happened here

An account from the chapter on Claridon township, in the words of 1880.

1880, Claridon Township

Hunting

Until most of the wild animals were killed or driven away, the men and boys had generally a good rifle, and knew how to use them in killing small game, such as squirrels, partridges, and turkeys. To mutilate their bodies subjected such hunters to ridicule as being "greenhorns." The bullets of experts took effect only on the head of their game.
