How long has there been a Gnaw Bone, Indiana and how was the name created

[edit]

The information that says the name was created during the 1930s is absolutely incorrect. I found articles on newspapers.com that used the name, starting in 1879. It was apparently in general use at that time, so we don't know how early the name was created. Here is a link to an article: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48054507/nashville187911-1rutteracquittedofmurder/ There are many more, continuing up through the current year.<newspapers.com, The Republic newspaper, Columbus, IN, September 11, 1879, page 4><The Cincinnati Inquirer, Cincinnati, OH, November 1, 1879, page 1></ref> PioneerOffspring (talk) 15:09, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
