Funky name of the month winner

My dad's generation in my hometown county used as landmarks Bentonville, Nip and Tuck, Cockleburr School, Bethel Church, JoJo hill, the Fry corner, Old Buckley hill, Lickskillet, Log Chain school, Liberty Center school (renamed from German Center during the war), and the sale barn corner.?ÿ Today I doubt many residents would recognize those names.?ÿ Most probably do still recognize Harvard, Sewal, and Bethlehem.?ÿ New York is questionable.?ÿ There is essentially nothing but a crossroads left for any of those places today except that an implement dealer has replaced the old sale barn and become this generation's landmark.

But little of that shows up in Google Maps, so the 911 system rural addresses like 12345 Alphabet Street are replacing the colorful names and they are fading away.

Have family in that area. Works at Cobalt boats now.

@dmyhill

We have surveyed several tracts that adjoin Cobalt properties over the past three decades, but never Cobalt.  Sort of funny to see those big, fancy boats that must travel huge distances to be in a body of water for which they are suited.  There is also a firm nearby that custom designs yacht interiors.  How crazy is that?

Two of the old one-room school houses not far from here had their official names but were simply referred to as Punkin College and Possum Holler.

Several of us in a county commission meeting one day had fun educating one of the commissioners who always knew he was smarter than everyone in the entire world.?ÿ He told us he had been driving on Wallace Road in a certain area.?ÿ Someone said, "Oh, yeah, Montana Road."?ÿ The battle was on.?ÿ When he went on to specify the crossroad he had been near, which made no sense to him as it was a name and not a number (east-west roads in that county are numbers and north-south roads are names) I piped up with, "You were in Montana and that was a city street."?ÿ He about flipped out.?ÿ He did not see any city, let alone a city street.?ÿ Others agreed with me so he finally gave up, begrudgingly.

Rebekah literally means "secured or tied up" and is described as "within this name lies the notion that individuals are placed together by something higher or smarter than they".
