The following excerpt is from "A Book About Seville 1818-1966, by Lee Calvin (pp 45-46) -- On 15 December 1871, the Seville council decided that "since the location of the L.S.& T.V. Railroad makes it important for corporation purposes certain land lying on the south side of Market street and on the east side of said railroad" it would pay Jacob Wells $500 for 70 feet off the west end of three lots he owned there. This provided for a public highway which now (in 1966) serves Seville Elevator and Akron Products Company. The town also had to move Well's sidewalk, barn and fence for him under it's agreement. It (the village of Seville) borrowed $100 from Miss Sarah Chapin and issued notes to Wells for installment payments on the balance due. The village also built the crossings and relocated part of Water Street for the new railroad. Council paid the following bills for this work: Dan Flickinger $4; H. Houghton $2; F. Fickes $3; William Laughlin $5; A.J. English $4; J.D. Edwards, the mayor of village, $4; John Fullerton $4; E.G. Miller $2; L.W. Strong for gravel, $6.60; James Turner $2; William Sanderson $9; LEVI HALLIWELL $1; James Hatch $ 75c; Emmons Brothers $34; A.N. Taylor $12. Larger amounts paid... were probably for teams of horses.
