At a meeting of the Council held October 6th, 1863, a petition from the heirs of Wiatt H. Ingram, deceased, was presented, praying for the opening of a street fifty feet wide, running through Ingram’s enlargement from the Catholic Church on Third Street to Center Street at Mrs. L. M. Thornton’s property, and for a continuation of First cross street to the new street to be called Ingram Street, and given to the city by the said Ingram’s heirs. At that time Second was the only street running through the Ingram property, the whole of it back of Green Street being fenced up in one body. The Council accepted the gift of Ingram Street, and directed its opening from Third to Center, and the opening of First from Green to Ingram.
