EARLY WOODGATE NAMES

compiled by
John Huther

This list will be added to as I read more letters in the months ahead. Many of the following names are mentioned in the letters of Minnie Rush and others to Sam Davidson from 1875 to 1881, the diary of Mary Kronmiller from 1879 to 1881, and letters to and from Louisa Kronmiller between 1875 and 1898. The spelling of names was irregular; some people even spelled their own family name differently. In the case of conflicts, the spelling on a calling card was chosen or a current spelling as advised by Ann Steele.

An asterisk (*) denotes a calling card for the individual. These are in our calling card scrapbook compiled by Melissa Huther.

A plus sign (+) denotes names appearing on a map from Beers' Atlas for 1874 along Bear Creek Road.

A double dash (--) sign denotes people shown elsewhere on the 1874 map.

A mark (^) denotes information from stones in the Woodgate Cemetery.

@ denotes names at White Lake Corners in 1884 Gazetteer & Directory.
