If memory serves me correctly Shake Rag is North of the intersection of US Hwy 24 & State Road C. The town was located where the railroad tracks cross the gravel road. It was either there, or West more towards Holliday. Mike Stockton, AAS-EMT, NREMTP Respiratory Therapy Student, BPCC Former Monroe Co. Resident

This is what the USGS website says about it. This was a mostly black settlement near Holliday. The name shake rag comes from the bandanna knotted at the four corners worn by the women, who often shook their heads when talking. It doesn't have a location. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MStock71037@wmconnect.com> To: <MOMONROE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [MOMONROE] Shake Rag community > If memory serves me correctly Shake Rag is North of the intersection of US > Hwy 24 & State Road C.
