In going through some old newspaper clippings at Putney Historical Society today I found the following clipping from 1968: NAMES OF YESTERYEAR Editor of The Reformer: I have noted with much interest the reaction to my innocent question as to whether the road by the Canal Street School was still called "Breakneck Hill" as it was commonly referred to in my early school days. That question was not intended to be provocative but it did bring interesting information. Brattleboro's terrain provides anple opportuity for Breakneck Hills. Official names are one thing and common names oftern are more expressive. For example, Prospect Hill once was commonly referred to as Cemetry Hill. Othr common names to reflect upon are: Sheep Hill, Signal Hill, Fuller Hill, Toad Hill, Forest hill, Slab Hollow. I hope Tater Lane has not fallen into oblivion. There were other common and interesting designations and as The Behive and Noah's Ark, that others may also recall. Robert KNOWLTON (B. H. S. '11) Harrisburg, Pa. For some reason I thought folks here might find this of interest so decided to send it along before I throw the clipping away. Ruth -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
