You can get loads of info like you're seeking from Western Reserve
Historical Society in Cleveland
Their library is a treasure trove.

Does any one have an idea as to when electricity and electrical lines came
to
Lorain and Erie county. Was watching The Last Samari just now, in 1876
there were huge poles with many wires in Japan in the city probably not
electrical
but possibly telegraph????? I am assuming given the epic nature of the film
basic historical details would have been watched pretty closely.


I also am not sure as to when the railroads came thru my thinking is 1850s
from something I read some place but have yet to nail down specifics on.

Thanks for helping me think this out
Marilyn
