March II, 1851. Mortimer has his
village of Spring Hill surveyed today.
The little unincorporated village
was surveyed and plotted March rs,
1851. 1t occupies a part of the large
tract of land willed by Ambrose Rice
to his two grand nephews, Oscar and
Jason Rice Hibbard. The village re-
ceived its name from the name of the
farm of which it was part. When the
post office was removed from Mr..
Tedrow's, several miles south, it was
found that the name could not be
changed to that of the village, as
there was an office called Spring Hill
in the state. Therefore it kept the
name of the former postmaster, Ted
row.
In addition to the plat of the main
village, north of the so-called Maumee
and Angola road, a row Of lots on
the south side was taken from the
farm of T. B. Walters, the farm now
occupied by Mr.. Everett Spring. The
original plat gives names of first pur-

those opportunities go by the board. and
out of the richness and fullness of his gal
