Historical Note
In 1857, Albert Nichols (dates unknown) erected a tannery in Granville Center, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. When he went bankrupt in 1861, the tannery was sold to Charles J. E. Martin (1817-1862), who operated it successfully until his death on November 14, 1862. The tannery was then purchased by Adam Innes (1820-1886), who had learned the tanner's trade as an apprentice in Linlithgow, Scotland. Innes operated the tannery until his death in 1886.
