NAMED IT RAvENNA.
Jvet When the Ohio Town Wa Going
to Be Called Tappan.

vOOS wneb tn0 Ous0 Town was S0Ju0
to BE Called Tappan.
Shortly after the Revolution Benja-
0dn Tappan, o of a wealthy Boston
merchant and the original owner of
what is now Portage county. o.. en-
tered his fathers tract in the west
and spent the winter there. Other set
TIERS joined him, and a settlement was
begun, which had the dignity Of q
town at a time when a single log cabin
ct each place marked the present sites
sf the cities of Cleveland and Buffalo.
The place was n of singular natural
beauty. and the question of a name
soon rose
Now. it happend that at this time q
younger brother Of Benjamin Tappan's
and his wife were in Italy and came
ppon the old town Of Ravenna. De-
lighted with the place, the young bride
expressed to her husband the wish
that somewhere In the new world
there might arise q town worthy to
bear the name Of the wonderful old
Italian city.
The husband Immediately thought Of
his brother in the Ohio wilds and at
once dispatched a letter in which he
pictured the beauties of the Italian
city and expressed the wish that the
town then arising In the wilderness be
named in it's honor.
Many months later Benjamin Tap
pan. despairing of finding arsuitable
name for the town, was about to yield
to the wishes of his neighbors and be-
stow the name of Tappan upon 1t
when the letter arrived. So. instead
Of Tappan, the town was named Ra.
VIENNA. which name it still proudly
bears.-Ladies' Home Journal.
