Penfield Township

The section headings the book prints inside this chapter. Each one jumps to where it begins.

• Penfield Township

What the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

Every populated place the Geographic Names Information System records inside this township's Census boundary. It is not named in the chapter: it was founded later or was never more than a post office.

Reproduced complete and unedited from History of Lorain County Ohio with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pionners, published 1879. The text is machine-read from scans, so expect recognition errors: misspelled names, dropped words, and stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the books' own; source changes are labelled in place.
