Subject: [OHLICKIN] 1820 Welsh cooperative??
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 15:26:05 -0600

For work purposes I was reading up on co-operatives in an old
Britannica, and was quite startled to come across this sentence:

"In 1820 a group of Welsh farmers at Granville, O., began
marketing hogs cooperatively."

Since I have a Welsh great-great grandmother who was born there
(Hannah James b. 1811, daughter of Simon James and Elizabeth
____), I'm curious. I've visited and read a lot of Isaac Smucker's
writings and the like, but don't remember anything about this.
Does anyone know where there might be further information about
this? Thanks.
