From the 1915 Lake County, Ohio Atlas


MAPLE FRONT is owned by John D. Thompson, Post Office Address Perry, Ohio. It 
contains 164 acres, one and one-half miles from the Village of Perry, in Lot 57,
Township 10, Range 11. Dairying is its specialty and consists of twenty graded 
cows, the product of which amounts to 50 gallons of milk per day. In addition, 
general soil products include wheat, oats, and potatoes, a portion of the Farm 
being set aside for pasture and meadow. Never-failing wells furnish abundant 
water supply for stock and family use. The name is derived from a row of 
beautiful maple trees in front of the house. Its building improvements include 
a farm residence 36 x 28, with an ell 36 x 20, three fine barns, as follows: 
horse barn 30 x 36, with cement floors, stock barn, 45 x 75 with an ell 25 x 20 
for tools, one hay and tool barn 28 x 36 with an ell 12 x 36. This group of 
buildings are all in a sanitary condition, supplied with modern conveniences and
in the best repair. The farms surface is nearly level, the soil mostly black 
muck with some clay and gravel loam. Moses Thompson purchased this farm from 
James Brooks December, 1831 and it came to the possession of the present owner 
by will at the death of his father in November, 1891.
