When I was
growing up in Springfield Township, La Porte County, this intersection had no
road signs. If it did, we natives would expect them to read “Marsh Road” and “Moon
Road”. (I never saw these names used in an address - our mail came to RR #1, Box 222.) Did the county roads have names before they had numbers? Why do some still
have names? Whose names are/were attached to roads?
The program
which follows the business portion of the regular monthly meeting of the La
Porte County (IN) Genealogical Society is entitled “La Porte County Road Surnames,
Genealogically Speaking,” presented by the La Porte County Historian, Fern Eddy
Schultz. Guests are welcome to join us at 7 PM on Tuesday, August 11, at the La
Porte Park Department Headquarters, 250 Pine Lake Avenue.
