Researching First Reference to Dorney

[NW Mailing List]

Hi everyone, 

I’m gathering some final notes on the Dorney, Ohio coaling station, and would like to nail down when that place-name was first referenced for a writing project.

The earliest reference I have is in Alex Schust’s book on the Scioto Division, where he states a tool house was built at Dorney in 1901. 

An 1887 Scioto Valley Railroad public timetable (N&W predecessor) from the rails and trails site does not list Dorney. 

If any of you have some early, pre 1901, N&W timetables that you could check, I’d be very appreciative. Dorney was located just south of Circleville Ohio (zooming out a bit, between Chillicothe and Columbus). 

Thanks!
