Jennie could be correct, that CL means Class Leader. It's fairly certain that these are rosters of "Sunday School" classes. Looking at the map in this material, it appears to me that Hopewell would have been located in the vicinity of what is now Pleasant Mills. Tole Gate, could literally have been a "toll gate" on the pike running from Willshire, OH to Decatur, the road that became U.S. 33. Take a look at the township map on the web site and see if that makes sense. And there could have been a class in the vicinity that simply took the name of the nearest object that people would recognize. Tim Singleton Volunteer Coordinator Adams Co.
