How Doodletown was Named

About 40 years ago when there
were only two or three houses where
Doodletown now is, the town receiv-
ed its present name. A woman in
one of the houses did so much sing
ing that old Peter Deckard, now de-
ceased, father OF Reuben Deckaad
gave it the name Doodletown and
the name will probably always stick
to that locality.
