From the 1915 Lake County, Ohio Atlas

BALLYRUE is the name given the farm of B. Segner and G. S. James, their address 
being Perry Village, two and one-half miles distant. It contains 7.72 acres 
located on the North Ridge Road, two and one-half miles from Perry Village. 
This little farm is devoted almost exclusively to the cultivation of fruit, and 
is watered by never-failing wells. Its building improvements consist of a 
comfortable residence. Its surface is level and its soil a gravel muck. George 
S. James was born in Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 27, 1890 and came to Perry, March 
1914. In Jan. 1915, he opened a general store at the corner of North Ridge and 
Antioch Roads, conducting a successful business from the day the store opened 
and Mr. James is considered a popular young merchant. The business conducted 
has so developed that an enlargement to his salesroom has been necessary from 
time to time. He married Mary McNeal, May 19, 1911. The store is located on an 
improved highway noted for automobile traffic.
