Beebetown, Ohio
Beebetown is an unincorporated community in Medina County, Ohio. Name and history In 1823, Abram Beebe, for whom the place was named, brought his wife Dorcas and nine children from Canandaigua, New York with an ox team. He purchased fifty acres on the Liverpool corner for $165.50 and built a log house. The Fullers purchased the Strongsville corner of the area and found on it a hut which had been built by hunters. It had no fireplace or chimney but they managed to live in it the first winter. The following summer, the Fullers built the first frame house in Beebetown. Mrs. Fuller, eager to start an orchard for the family, had brought seeds and clippings from New York State. A pear tree grew from one of these. Part of it, 140 years old, still stands. Historic sites include the Beebetown schoolhouse (now a residence), cemetery, and Beebetown Baptist Church, originally built in 1852, after a two-story log building (circa 1838) on the site was no longer suitable. Several houses within ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geographic Names Information System
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is a database of name and locative information about more than two million physical and cultural features throughout the United States and its territories, Antarctica, and the associated states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. It is a type of gazetteer. It was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the standardization of feature names. Data were collected in two phases. Although a third phase was considered, which would have handled name changes where local usages differed from maps, it was never begun. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recorded. Each feature receives a per ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hunters
Hunting is the human practice of seeking, pursuing, capturing, or killing wildlife or feral animals. The most common reasons for humans to hunt are to harvest food (i.e. meat) and useful animal products (fur/ hide, bone/tusks, horn/antler, etc.), for recreation/taxidermy (see trophy hunting), to remove predators dangerous to humans or domestic animals (e.g. wolf hunting), to eliminate pests and nuisance animals that damage crops/livestock/poultry or zoonosis, spread diseases (see varmint hunting, varminting), for trade/tourism (see safari), or for conservation biology, ecological conservation against overpopulation and invasive species. Recreationally hunted species are generally referred to as the ''game (food), game'', and are usually mammals and birds.
