Billiar Street... runs only one block East from [[Palmer St., Wooster, Ohio|Palmer]] to [[Billiar Alley, Wooster, Ohio|Billiar Alley]]. When the ways were officially dedicated, a descendant of Jacob agreed to add a final "d" to the name which seemed incomplete. But subsequently the change was abandoned, and the signs reverted to the original spelling.  <ref>The Streets of Wooster" by Richard Peter. Wooster, Ohio, 1985. p.8-9.</ref>
