This map was sent to me by Bonnie Chaddon at the Franklin County Courthouse. Bonnie and I were classmates at Brookville High. The map is from around 1880. The school as depicted was where the original building was located. The later school was across the street in the area marked “public square.” The Universalist Church on Jefferson isn’t something I ever heard about. There is evidence of such a church in Fairfield in the 1840s. We lived on Mulberry, between 60 and 61, so there were three properties on that street in later years. A few marks are interesting, including the Eads addition, which I am researching. Pleasant Street was never dedicated. William H. and Thomas C. Eads were brothers, Thomas about 12 years younger. Their history is interesting. Note the number of harness and buggy businesses and the Fairfield ME Church.Brier Cemetery marked with a cross. American Carriage Directories in Lexington KY (Thanks to Katharine Magruder) says George Loper ran a carriage business in the town from around 1880 till sometime before 1898.Click Here to get a larger version of the map.
