From the 1915 Lake County, Ohio Atlas

FRUITDALE is owned by Nelson N. Harrison, Post Office, Perry, Ohio. It contains 
15 acres, one-half mile from the Village of Perry, located on the Davis Road, 
Township 11, Range 7. Fruit is its specialty and aside from the usual varieties 
of pears, apples and peaches, etc. grapes and berries are cultivated. Among the 
latter variety are strawberries, raspberries, currants, etc. Two acres are 
devoted to garden truck, which completes the Farm's revenues. Its water supply 
is received from the Township ditch and its name is derived from fruit culture. 
The farm's soil is a sandy loam and thoroughly adapted to cultivation of fruit. 
This little farm was owned by the Call Estate, and thence the title passed to 
the heirs of Mrs. Thomas Thompson; from the latter to present owner in 1912. 
Nelson N. Harrison is the present secretary of Perry Village, having been 
elected in 1914. On April 18, 1898, he married Miss Eva Farr, of Madison, and 
their family consists of four daughters. Mr. Harrison has always taken an active
interest in matters pertaining to the best interests of his Village and town.
