Additional commentary.
1.
In a shed behind this house, Tommy Miller invented the oil can and a wagon jack for horse drawn wagons. He also designed the machinery to produce these items, which were manufactured in Springboro and sold to wagon owners throughout the Midwest United States. James Bennett's shop was across the street.
