I just received a copy of a SS application and on it lists the address as.... R..D. Aurora Station, Ohio. Does anyone know where this would be or how I could find out? It is dated 1940 for the application year. Thank you Kim
I've never heard of that, either, but here are some choices I came across. Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom is an amusement park/water park that is located on 690-acres in Aurora, OH, just 30 miles southeast of Cleveland. Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom is within driving distance of many other major cities, including Detroit (188 miles); Columbus (140 miles); Pittsburgh (108 miles); Buffalo (198 miles); Erie (107 miles); Wheeling (130 miles). 2005 is Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom's 119th season. With a history that dates back to 1887, the classic park is one of the oldest amusement parks in North America and has a very treasured history. 1060 Aurora Road, Aurora (330) 562-8303 http://www.auroraoh.com/old/landmark.html The city of Aurora's Landmark Preservation website. Justices of the Peace Portage County Ohio- 1890 Transcribed list of Justices of the Peace of Portage County, Ohio as reported by County Clerks 1890. Township Name of Justice Politics Post Office Term Expires Aurora Gould, John R Aurora Station April 23, 1892 The above entry shows this area in Ohio used to be called Aurora Station when this Justice of the Peace was elected in 1892 and up to the 1940's when your ancestor applied for that SS Aplication. But that same area in Portage County is just called Aurora now, no "station" that I can see. Also, I just sent a Mapquest map of the city of Aurora to your e-mail address showing it is located 28 miles away from Akron, Summit County, in Portage Co. Portage County is right next door to Summit County. Good luck! April. [email protected] wrote: I just received a copy of a SS application and on it lists the address as.... R..D.

That means Rural Delivery - Aurora Station, OH They probably just dropped the mail at the Aurora Station and everyone had to go there to pick up their mail.

If you go to http://www.auroraohiochamber.com/aurorahistory.htm there is a small paragraph about Aurora Station. The paragraph is about the 13th or 14th paragraph.
