[Genealib] Rural, Wisconsin & others

[Donna Jo Atwood]

This isn't really an unusual town name-Manly, IA and Fertile, IA-but the
headline in the 1964 newspaper was

Manly Man Marries Fertile Girl.

I lived near a town in Indiana called Gnaw Bone or Gnawbone.  Always
wondered who got eaten up.

I still think there is nothing to top Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky.

Then of course, in Newfoundland, you have Joe Batt's Arm, Blow Me Down, and
Jerry's Nose. In New Brunswick, Dark Tickle, Tickle Beach and Timble Tickle.
Alberta, meanwhile, is home to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Saskatchewan
has towns named Love, located east of Prince Albert, and Climax, located
about 75 kilometers southwest of Swift Current. Nova Scotia has a beautiful
little bay called Malignant Cove. Not to be topped, Quebec has a place
called St-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!

 

I have been to the last named. And yes, they do have the exclamation points
on the signs.
