Here, G.M. Hyatt resided in 1852, opposite the Quaker Meeting House which was at the S.E. corner (extreme right and not shown) and at that date a schoolhouse, having been discontinued as a place of worship in 1810. St. Stanislos Roman Catholic Church was erected there. (In 1923.) Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. 1922.
