There are several areas in the surrounding counties that are called Hopewell and Toll Gate, could he have served those areas? I know that sometime an area is mentioned in records by a feature of the area. One such area is Detrick in Milan Township Allen county. While I have never been able to locate a community called Detrick I know there is a Detrick school just south of Harlan, Indiana. I have always assumed that newspaper clipping for events occurring in Detrick were occurring at that Detrick school. Are there old churches or schools called Tollgate or Hopewell in Adams county?

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.
